I got it too... and I got the check sent to my house via UPS..
Dear Sir/Ma My name is Mr Fred Thomas, I am the Employment Manager Of Costa Coffee, a Quality coffee company based in the United Kingdom. The company has been setup in Lambeth, London since 1971, supplying all local caterers, major Italian and American coffee shops and around the world, with an exciting coffee, slow-roasted the Italian way. People couldn't get enough of it and by 1978 the first Costa espresso bar opened in Vauxhall Bridge Road in London. To this day we still use the same method of slow-roasting our coffee beans, serving the brothers authentic blend of 6 Arabica beans to 1 Robusta in 500 coffee shops all over the world. You can visit our website at: Costa Coffee The company is always facing serious difficulties when it comes to selling our products to Americans because they are always offering to pay us with United States CHECKS which is difficult for us to cash here in the United Kingdom since the last person that represents us in the United States has just fallen sick and cannot continue the job. NOW We are looking for a representative in the United States who will be working for the company as a Part-Time Representative/Bookkeeper and we'll be willing to pay 10% for every transaction, of course it wouldn't affect your present state of work because you may do this as a PART-TIME WORK and earn some more money, all we need is just someone who would help us receive payments from our customers in the United States. Here is why we need you in our company, WHY WE NEED YOU ? The international money transfer tax for legal (Companies) in United Kingdom is 25%, whereas for the individual it is only 7%. There is no sense for us to work this way, while tax for international money transfer made by a private individual is 7%.That's why we need you! We need representatives in the United States to receive payment for our Company in US Bank Cheques and to resend the money to us here in United Kingdom via Western Union Money Transfer.This way we will save money because of tax decreasing. And here is what you will do for us. JOB DESCRIPTION? 1. Receive payment in form of US Cheques from Customer's 2. Deduct 10% which will be your percentage/pay on Payment processed. 3. Forward balance after deduction of percentage/pay to any of the offices you will be contacted to send payment to(Payment is to be forwarded by Western Union Money Transfer) HOW MUCH WILL YOU EARN? 10% from each operation! For instance: you receive 3000 USD on our behalf. You will withdraw the money and keep $300 (10%from $3000) for yourself! At the beginning your commission will equal 10% though later it will increase up to 12%!.And here is the form for you to complete and email it back to us for processing.We will contact you back as soon as your application is successful. We need you to complete this form as we need to have some basic and need to know somethings about you. COSTA COFFEE APPLICATION FORM: 1. FirstName________ _________________________ 2.

Dear mlevy
Welcome to this forum. It is a scam case. Do not try to cash this check, you will be involved in a fraud case. Keep all evidence (mails, envelope, check) and report them to the police.

Too many counterfeit money order and check in the market nowaday, it is not worth the risk to work as agent for these oversea company anymore, many of them are moving their operation from Africa into UK and Europe now, even the banks are part of their groups too.

I replied to this email and got some cashier's checks today
I have never been scammed before and don't intend ever to be. I was emailed by a man named Peter Sitole on Jan. 4, 2008 with the same information as some of you have gotten. I too went on their website and think it is legitimate. I was emailed a few days ago saying the first client would be sending me a payment on or before Jan. 16 and today UPS delivered me an envelope with 6 Traveler's gift checks each in the amount of $500.00 I have emailed Mr. Sitole back asking for instructions where to wire the money after I take out the 10% as my commission. Now I don't know what to do, has anyone been scammed by this person and if so please tell me details so I can decide what to do with these checks. Thanks, Marlene

Dear Marlene DO NOT TRY to cash the checks. Are fake or stollen and you will be acussed for involvement to a fraud case. Depends from the country you may be in jail from 5 to 20 years. You may report the case to police giving all evidence you have (hardcopies of mails, checks, envelops, UPS receipts etc).
