TOP HEALTHCARE is a privately owned company. The business is based in London at the heart of the UK motorway network and has developed from its origins, producing surgical needles, into a major business servicing the global healthcare market.

Today, TOP HEALTHCARE is building on the company's strong tradition for product research and development and is developing into one of the UK's leading healthcare s. The company has developed and markets products in the growing areas of sports medicine, spinal surgery and heart bypass implant and has an established international distribution base across Europe and America.



We care to explain to you thoroughly the entire process that will possibly be the best job you will ever have. This job is possible because our company TOP HEALTHCARE has its headquarters in London, UK. As such we do not yet have stores or offices in the United States. Until we do we will always need representatives in the U.S. to take care of some financial matters. The problem we are facing is the time necessary for our company to clear the funds from checks paid by our customers from U.S. after they have received our products and/or services. It takes approximately 2 to 3 weeks including shipping to clear these checks in Europe. We need to clear the checks inside U.S. and then have the funds transferred to our company in U.K. by other means. This is where you can help us. It would speed up the process tenfold. We have already made a signed agreement with the U.S. officials and we are paying all the necessary taxes for our business. We will also send you a 1099 Form for tax deduction on your part. This job is official and legal according to the U.S. legislation as it is today.



The process itself involves answering e-mails a couple of times per day and going to a bank. This job does not require any kind of experience. It only requires access to the Internet and knowledge to send e-mails. First step in this job is for you to wait at home for checks sent by our American customers on your name as per our instructions. For this to be possible we need your basic personal info such as full name and full address.



Fill in the empty fields in the contract at paragraph 1.2, sign it and send it to us.



We accept an electronic signature as well so you can just fill the contract in your computer and send it back through email system.



IMPORTANT: Please use your computer or typewriter to fill in the empty fields inside the contract. If that is not possible please fill in by hand but legible. After you fill in the contract complete the same info below and send it to us by e-mail.

IMPORTANT:

-You have to be at least twenty one years old.

-You have to be an American citizen, legal resident or immigrant in U.S.

-You must have and use a existing active U.S. bank account

Please reply here if you have any questions. This is the e-mail address we use for receiving contracts. Thank you and we hope to collaborate with you as soon as possible,
