      Dear ,

      My name is {Mod: Removed personal info} and I am Lamont Financial Services Limited hiring manager. Thank you for your reply and interest in our company. Please read the email below with the explanation about the job role.

      Why we need Processing Assistants

      When buying-selling operations via the Internet are concerned, the buyer and the seller don't know each other and are placed in different corners of the world. Therefore it is important both to the buyer and the seller for their transaction to be made safely. Payment Security means receiving money concerning the transaction by a reliable, experienced, impartial person - our Processing Assistant. He will hold all the money until all the terms of the deal are satisfied and only then release them to the intended receiver. Please, visit our web-site for more information.

      Having a Processing Assistant in every country we can quickly transfer funds inside a country without wasting time on the international bank transfers, and continue our rapid growth rather than overwhelming our own bank account with inbound and outbound transactions leading to severe hold times and possible service interruption. It is time that is of significant importance to our clients.

      The main task of the Processing Assistant will be receiving money transactions to any bank account he would like to use for the purposes of this job; and then forwarding these transactions to the next party of the process according to our instructions. Processing Assistant will be processing approximately 2-4+ transactions per week.
