Good day to you !

Hope you're having a pleasant day today? You contacted me applying for the position which I advertised on Craigslist. Thank you for your interest. Please do take your time to go through this introductory email and feel free to pass any questions on. I'm Ray Desmond , 47 and married with 3 wonderful children. I'm a relatively successful entrepreneur and huge investor in the real estate market which tends to be my main source of income, I'm a member of the Angles Investment Network. I have been a Financial Planner for over 19 years and also a Private Research Journalist and I travel every now and then within and outside the US working on various independent projects, this is why I need someone who can help keep up to date with all of my activities especially when I'm away and amidst my busy schedule. My previous PA is currently unavailable for health reasons and I'm keen on finding a replacement who is efficient, self-motivated, organized, a good communicator with an ability to multi-task under pressure.

Please note that you are being hired only on a personal level, all correspondences would be made and promptly reported to me personally. Due to my frequent travels, the position is part time and home-based meaning you may need to set up a home-office if you don't already have one; we will discuss the costs of setting this up as we move along. Most importantly, you need to have a regular internet access, with this, I can easily convey instructions no matter where I am on what I need to be done at a particular time. You are also hired on a trial basis for now until we are able to see how well we fit in, this however does not affect your weekly wage.

Most of your activities will be carried out locally and most official documents and packages will be delivered via courier services. You will be actively involved in my personal, business and financial life. In summary, your activities as my assistant amongst other things will include;

YOUR DUTIES AS MY PERSONAL ASSISTANT.

While I am out of the states, I need some one who can stand in the gap for me.His/her duties will be:

To receive letters and mails on my behalf.
Receive checks and money orders from clients who want to attend the forth
coming workshops or Live shows.
Schedule appointments for me.
Book my flight tickets.
Send letters and mails from my clients.

This position is home-based and flexible part time job,you can be in any location you will be working from your home doing all the activities.All you need do is to check your emails twice daily and keep your phone on most times in case I might need to call you from anywhere I may be.I do have a number of things you could help me with this week if you will be available to start.This can act as a stable foundation to our working relationship.

Let me know if you have any of the office equipment (If not,I will make arrangements to send them to your address
Printer:

Basic wage is $600 a week. Any extra personal expenses (transport, gas, etc) incurred by you while on an errand or otherwise will also be reimbursed by me at the end of each working week.

This position is very flexible and it is difficult judging the exact number of hours you will be doing, just bear it in mind that there will be busier weeks than others with a steady pay. Working with me is basically about instructions and following them, my only fear is that I may come at you impromptu sometimes, so I need someone who can be able to meet up with my irregular timings. There is also a very sensitive issue on trust, dedication and accountability which I believe will resolve itself as time goes on.

This is only an introductory e-mail, as time goes on we should be able to arrange a proper meeting to get things started officially. I'm currently in England now for a seminar, however, I do have a number of things you could assist me with immediately, prior to my arrival. Due to the excessive number of responses to my Ad, do provide the following details about yourself for my personal record update and to filter applicants;

For proper review (since I am not available now to set up a face-to-face interview) supply out correctly the information below .
