Default Grameen Foundation scam

you probably have heard of grameen related loans...they are micro loans secured through community collateral. anyway, this is a "funny" email i got from the "gramen" foundation

Excellent Job Offer ! Work Starts Immediately. Instant Income,$10,000 Monthly,Open To Read More Now..
From: Gramen Foundation Intl. <employments@gramenfoundation.org>


This is from the Grameen Foundation,we have Part time Job Vacancy and we are interested in offering you a part-time paying job in which you could earn about $10,000- $12,000 ( USD) per month.

Before I go further, I would like to inform you of both the organization you would be working for and what you would be doing for the firm.We support microfinance programs that enable the poor, mostly women, to lift themselves out of poverty and make better lives for their families.

To do this, we partner with a worldwide network of microfinance institutions.Our organization is a foundation which enhances social sensitivity to the problem of fighting Poverty and AIDS in Africa and its surrounding we are professionally working with the children who potentially form the first link of the intervention Chain and also support humanitarian services on poverty issues mostly on Children and the less privileged in the developing world. We Improve the Competence of poverty and Aids workers in Africa,over the years,Aids and povery has destroyed talents,dreams and health conditions in children and woman in Africa that are less Priviledged,we would not stand and watch humans live without smiles on their face,love or even little food on their table.

As the Manager of the foundation, I am in charge of the life saving project of the foundation organization which is based in the United Kingdom , though I and my life saving associates travel a lot.

Presently, we have just been granted a funding to head a charity support project in the tropical regions of the world poverty and aids eradication in Africa and provision of basic amenities in support to humanitarian services to the third world nations and this would be commencing very soon. However, our funding was by our business counterparts that sends to us the bunch of payments.

We would be willing to employ you on contract basis to be our payment representative back in united states,these payments come in 5 forms.

1)Certified Bank Cheque.
2)Direct Bank Deposit ( into bank account which would be provided by you as our rep.)
3)Western Union/Money Gram.
4) Cash Delivery( Foreign Currency)
5) Plastic Card mobile Payments

This way,we would have the payment made directly to you as our rep. from our funding counter parts within the states and you then cash/process them easily,withdraw 15% of the total amount on the payments as your commission for the great service you have rendered in support to saving life's in the third world and then you would be provided the details with instructions on how you would forward the rest of the funds to the designated outlet via Western union money Transfer Or Money gram. Money Transfer charges would be deducted from the money you are sending over after deducting your 15%,assuming you receive a payment worth $10,000 (USD). You Will have to deduct $1,500 (USD) which is your commission for having the payments cashed/processed and you will have the remaining amount sent out to the Firm via Western union money transfer. Also note that the Western Union charges will be deducted from the Firm's 85% balance and not from your %15.
I will like to know if you are really interested to work for us because the Organization has just limited spaces left open for now. Bear it in mind that we would be dealing with quite a handful of cash and you could be making good money working with us as well as being a part of our future. This job opportunity is 100% legit and supportive. I also want you to know that you do not have to pay any start up fee to either the firm directly or anyone from the firm instead we use this as a mean to support unemployed individuals and also individuals who need extra income,you would be given further enlightment on how you would be working and what you need to do.
