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 June/July 2009, I would like you to tutor her within a period of 1 month for now,on a schedule basis of 1 hr Daily, 3 times weekly,totaling 12 times in a month.I am willing to pay $50/hr.I would like to use these medium to inform you that my Daughter don't live in the US, she would be flying from UK 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 uk and right now am in Cuba for a business trip,the payments won't be honored in any bank in UK 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 $50 per hour X 12 Times a Month = $600 i would include an additional $100 for run around fee and any additional text book you might be needing- so $700 is what you deduct from the check you receive , whatever the remaining balance is after deduction of the $700 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 ). Cell No ( If Available ). Home No. Gender. Best Time to Call. Email.. N.B. My Daughter Name is Christine Adam (17), 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 English Upgraded. Thanks for your Understanding. Adam
