Now it is a woman lawyer, shannon decker. I responded to a post for Personal Assistant and almost believed her. These are the two emails I received after I responded to the posting:
Hi
I'm sorry for getting back to you late i have been so busy. Thanks for your interests in the Personal Assistant position, I will deeply appreciate all genuine efforts to help me monitor and keep up to date with all my activities.
I have had a previous Personal Assistant who has been very commendable in her activities and who has been part of my life for the past 6months, She is originally from Germany she has since returned to her country. I sincerely hope I will be able to find someone again who will be as efficient as she has been.
I'm Shannon Decker, 43, originally from Canada, but I have spent a whole lot here in the United States. I'm a lawyer by profession and I have been pretty successful in a handful of ventures I get involved in, from the Angle of Investment Network in Canada and United States to various welfare and community service programs i most very often get my hands occupied on, so it is imperative for me to have a worthy assistant who can monitor and keep me up to date with my activities.
As my Personal Assistant, your activities amongst other things will include the following:
* Running personal errands, supervisions and monitoring.
* Scheduling programmes, flights and keeping me up to date with them.
* Acting as an alternative telephone correspondence when I'm away.
* Making regular contacts and drop-offs on my behalf.
* Handling and monitoring some of my financial activities.
Basic salary is $300 weekly
This position is home-based and flexible, 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 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 the Queensland Australia now for a summit, however, I do have a number of things you could help me with soonest if you will be available for me. This can act as a stable foundation to our working relationship.
Hope to hear from you again.
Cheers.
Shannon Decker
The follow-up email:
Hello
I received your e-mail. I'm sure you'll understand I tend to have a very busy schedule at this point.
Please note that this position is not office based for now because of my frequent travels and tight schedules, it's a part-time, work from home basis and the flexibility means that there will be busier weeks than others, so it's a little difficult judging the exact number of hours you'll be doing per week. If you can manage your time properly, this job may even
Give you some extra while you do something else on the side. What i mean is that this job will not disturb you from any other job you are doing currently, that is if you have any. I hope you understand me
As I have said, I'd want us to get a head start with things as soon as possible. I do have a pile up of work and a number of unattended chores which you can immediately assist me with, I hope we can meet up with the workload eventually.
Permit me to use the coming week to test your efficiency and diligence towards all this, also to work out your time schedule and fit it to mine. I really need to find the perfect person for this job, I've confident that you can take up the challenge and on the long run we should have a relatively sound working relationship between us.
I am glad you are willing to work with me and i promise to be a good boss. I am also glad on the commitment you have in working.
I have been checking my files and what i would want you to do for me next week is to run some errands out to some of the orphanage home. I do that every month.
The funds will be in form of Cashiers Check and it will be sent over to you from one of my clients and i have some list to email you once you receive the funds, You will make some arrangements by buying some stuff for the kids in the nearest store around you so you can mail them out.
I will get you more information on that, I will like you to get back to me with your Contact Details such as:
Full Name:
Address:
City:
State
Zip Code:
Phone Number:
Age:
Once i receive your contact information i'l involve my client and update will surely reach you. Understand you will also be paid
As well as its important for me to make the necessary steps before i get to the states.
Hope i am clear with that.
Get back as soon as possible..
Regards
Shannon
