Dear Mr Anderson,

I was given your contact by Sgt J0seph J0nes of the US army, as a likely person to to assist us in our charitable work, so let me tell you a little about who I am and what we do.

I am an administrator for a charity in the UK called "Computing for the 3rd world" who arrange donations of computer hardware to help people living in poverty around the world. We spend most of out time contacting businesses asking for charitable donations of their old equipment whenever they upgrade their business computers and we then have this equipment distributed to schools, hospitals, community centres and wherever they are needed to help people in the poorest parts of the world. At present we are looking for local agents in the countries we cover to act as distributors for the equipment we provide and this is why I have contacted you. I understand you spend much of your time travelling around Africa and this is why Sgt J0nes has recommended you. What we would need you to do is to collect the shipments we send, identify institutions such as schools and the like, prioritise them according to need and decide which schools get each donation. You would then be required to deliver and install this equipment and also act as a technical consultant and general troubleshooter for the people using these computers.

We offer a small salary for this service (remember we are a charity and cant pay too much) of £1000 a month, which considering you will only need to work 5 or 6 days each month, we feel is very generous. We also reimburse any expenses you incur while working for us provided of course you send us your receipts, often we will send large deliveries requiring a large van or truck to collect, if you need to hire a vehicle for these collections we will of course cover the cost of the hire.

If you feel you can help us carry out our important work then please reply to me with your full name, address, phone number and 3 forms of ID.

I think to make sure I have the right candidate I am going to need my lad to sit an exam to make sure he has all the relevant computing skills he needs to do this job. I dont suppose any members here studied computer science or anything related to that and have any old exam papers lying around I can send him?
