"Hello,

Thanks for replying back to my online job posting, requiring
your tutorial service for my Daughter, I would like to make a
tutoring arrangement between you and my Daughter for the month
of November 2009. I would like you to tutor her within a
period of 1 month, on a schedule basis of 1 hr Daily, 3 times
weekly, totaling 12 times in a month. I am willing to pay
$40/hr. I would like to use this medium to inform you that my
Daughter don't live in the US, she would be flying from the
Philippine to the US, I want you to teach her during her 8
month stay in the US, if there is need to extend your services,
an amendment would be made to your salary. she would be
dropped off/picked up by her nanny during the hours of teaching
at any location you want the Tutoring to take place in your area.

You would be receiving a check drawn from a Bank in the US,
from my business associates in the US, since i am from
Philippine and right now am in Cuba for a business trip the
payments wont be honored in any bank there in Philippine or
here in Cuba , These check would be made out for the cost of
the tutorial services you are rendering, and also for the
living expense, nanny fees of my Daughter .

Regarding this- I hope i can trust you with these payments, as
the payment would be made out in excess, so all you have to do
is Deposit and cash the payment at your bank, deduct your
tutorial service fee, which should be $40 per hour X 12 Times a
Month = $480 i would include an additional $100 for run around
fee and any additional text book you might be needing- so $580
is what you deduct from the check you receive , whatever the
remaining balance is after deduction of the $580 go ahead and
deduct Money Gram or Western union transfer sending charges
for sending out the remainder to the Nanny who would be
contacting you with further arrangements and instructions
regarding pickup/drop off of my Daughter to the library where
you would always teach her. So i hope i can trust you that you
will teach my Daughter good academics and some moral respects
so that they can be good to their self in the future, i hope i
can count on you for the tutorial and the money to be sent to
the Nanny. I look forward to read a detailed message from you
containing the following information, if you are OK with my
arrangements.

Full Name.
Mailing Address including Zip Codes ( no PO Box pls ).
City:
State:
Cell No ( If Available ).
Home No.
Gender.
Best Time to Call.
Email.

Note: My Daughter's Name is Jocelyn Cojuangco and her Age is 13
yrs , She is actually coming to the US for sight seeing, but
while she is here i want her to study at the same time, she
understand English, can write and read fluently i just need her
Reading general education.

Thanks for your Understanding.
Regards

Michael Cojuangco"
