You can go to FBI.gov and hit their "report a crime" link. I gave them a copy of the spam and hope they can find him (or her).

It seems to me that if everyone reported these things that there's a better chance that they can be eliminated.

Dear Sir/Madam:

Hello. I'm Brian Euston. I came across your email address and your brief profile through an email listing affiliated with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
I am very interested in offering you a part-time job that will earn you a lot of money: $1,200 paid weekly.

I am a 50 years old professional. I just resigned from my position as a research scientist for ARINI (Agricultural Research Institute of Northern Ireland). I now work as a freelance consultant for ARINI, which gives me very much time to do my own work. I can be employed by institutes to do research based projects anywhere in the world.

Presently, I have just been granted funding to head a research project in the tropical regions of Europe regarding rare and vulnerable plant species. This will be commencing very soon.

This program will be funded and sponsored by American
counterparts and associates. The only set back is that the American counterparts want to make payments for the research in the form of U.S. money orders/ travellers checks/personal checks only. It is a known fact that money in such forms cannot be cashed outside the U.S. Getting an accountant in the U.S., or opening an account would have been my choices, but I have a deadline to meet. Taking these options would cost me time and money (essentially) and a whole lot of other requirements which I am not ready to deal with. This is where I need to employ your assistance and service.

At this point, I will be glad and grateful if you would be willing to work with me as my representative in the U.S and Canada,asia and europe. You will be working as a Payment Assistant, in charge of collecting and processing payments from the American associates. Since they will be making the payments in money orders/travellers checks/personal checks made payable in the US canada, you will be collecting these payments and cashing them on my behalf. On agreement to be the representative, you will receive a commission of 10% of whatever payments you receive from the American associates.

The following is a description of the position of Payment Assistant:

1. Recieve payments (in form of money orders/travellers checks) from the American associates via mail UPS/FEDEX/DHL).
2. Cash payments at your bank.
3. Deduct 10% which will be your commission/percentage on payments processed.
4. You are to remit the balance via Money Gram or Western Union Money Transfer according to my instruction.

Ten percent (10%) commission on each transaction will be yours!
For instance: On receiving $6000 USD via checks/money orders/travellers checks on my behalf, you will be paid a sum of $600. You will cash the payment and keep your percentage to yourself, before remitting the balance! At the beginning, your commission will equal 10%.
Later it will increase up to 12%! For the research, I am expecting the sum of $45,000 in total from the clients (though the money will be sent in installments due to the progress of my research). You could make $4,500 for the little time we will be working together.

ADVANTAGES

You dont have to go out of your present daily activity in order to engage in this job (you can do this work easily without leaving or effecting your present job).
You will work as an independent contractor right from your home /office.
Your job is absolutely legal.
You do not need any capital to start (none of your personal funds are needed).

To qualify for this position you must have the following qualifications:

1.) 18 years or older,
2.) Capable,
3.) Responsible, Reliable and Trustworthy,
4.) Ready to work 3-4 hours per week,
5.) Ability to check and respond to emails often, and
6.) Easy telephone access.

My lawyer checked all legal provisions to discover whether there are any dosmestic or international laws against businesses transactions done in this fashion. He said it's allowed by all laws. Know that doing this work is safe and legitimate.

I hope all is well understood. I would be glad for you to accept my proposal. I intend to commence as soon as you are ready.
Please, to facilitate the conclusion of this transaction, if accepted, do send correspondance promptly by email containing the following details below. This will indicate your interest.
