My name is Patrick Jefferson.I am a 48 years old european businessman . i was just about registering on Craigslist when i saw your ad.from what i saw i think its best i get in touch with you,here's a bit about me.I come to the states mostly for business purposes cos i have got a family business all about jewelry, I have a small company of my own called MASTOOFY JEWELS { best in cartier} outside the family business. I generally supply watches,bracelets,wedding rings and jewelries to stores in the states and ontario dealers known to my family and myself .Infact that is my family business cos we are from Canada. I bought a house last year in the area cos i love it there, here is a link to view pics of the house http://s127.photobucket.com/albums/p131 ... res_album/ ,it is a peaceful, wonderful house and in a loving neighborhood. Unfortunately my father passed away on the 10th of the month and as the only son in my family im to take care of the family business in Canada and i realised that it will be a bit difficult to supply goods to my clients in the states while am away and it will definitely cost me a lot to transact cos after delivery of goods i accept cash and checks for huge amounts,so transaction problem is what i might be facing especially with dealers in the state and i dont also want to lose my clients or customers there . So what i thought of doing is to look for someone to stay at my house free of charge .... .
Really i dont want to sell the house cos i just bought it and its a wonderful piece with luxury. Im looking for an ideal person or family who are honest,trustworthy,responsible,capable and clean for two reasons 1. is to maintain the house when i m away 2.To help me receive payments from my clients within the states on my behalf in his/their name and recent address and have it processed then send it out to me here thru money gram transfer or bank transfer until i can get them moved in my house and so they can make use of my address to the house for them to recieve the payment in their names. you dont have to pay me a dimme for the accommodation, but you will have to maintain the utility bills plus i will not be stayin with you for long when im intown. its just for the purpose of keeping my house safe and my business going on in the state while im away sort of house sitting but you must understand that this will not affect your own personal job at all and if you would like to keep this assignment as a job let me know so i can allocate 5% on each payment that you receive and i will make sure i see to all tasks incurred on you by my checks.
The house is a great with clean 3bathrooms,walk in closet, A gym ,All 4rooms and living room furnished with electronics . If you want i can email you more pictures and if you are interested let me know It is a very lovely house and there is no way you wont like it.If you are interested in handling my business in the state and keeping the house neat, please send me your full name and address with your phone number so i can have my lawyer make the necessary background check on you right away and we can proceed bcos im looking for someone to be moved in as soon as i find a perfect fit ..I am in Ontario now and will be awaiting your swift response. thanks
Patrick Jefferson
