Deola Sagoe Couture fashions is officially based in Africa and has decided to employ your services as it would be rather expensive to fly our 20 photographers all the way to the USA just for a week duration.
Here is a detailed arrangement of  your job requirements and payment plan…

1.)    You must be at least 18 years old… You must be willing to travel to NYC for a week. You shall arrive 2 days prior to the start of the Fashion Week. I shall provide you with specific dates and Hotel Address in the near future. All transportation costs (to and fro your location) shall be handled by us. Accommodation at a decent hotel shall be provided as well. I do not know your feeding arrangements but light breakfast and dinner shall be served on our bill at the hotel as well.
2.)    Arrangements for 2 people per room shall be made and on arrival, you would be allowed to mix with other colleagues and your roommate shall be chosen randomly by us. You shall rise from bed at 7.00 am latest and join your colleagues at the hotel lounge before 9.00 am daily. Hours for daily shows have not been officially fixed and as such we cannot disclosed that at the moment.
3.)    Please email me your samples of photo shots taken by you if you are interested.
4.)    We have a budget of about $1,500 - $2,000 for each chosen photographer. Agencies can be quite expensive and this is why I am contacting you directly. I would like you to know that advance payment of $500 and Money Orders would be purchased and mailed to your address soon as you are chosen for the job to book and confirm your services.
5.)    I am contacting you soon enough to guarantee we have an agreement with you in good time so you can schedule your time in advance to avoid any disappointments.
6.)    If for any reason the Fashion show is postponed, then I am sure we can discuss on a better plan to suit the situation.
7.)    TAKE NOTE THAT FUNDS MIGHT BE SENT TO YOU IN EXCESS AS WE MIGHT BE PROVIDING YOU WITH FUNDS FOR YOUR TRANSPORTATION TO NEWYORK AND YOUR HOTEL BILL AS WELL.
8.)    IF PLANS CHANGE AND WE RETAIN THE DECISION TO MAKE ARRANGEMENTS FOR YOUR ACCOMODATION AND TRANSPORTATION,….YOU WOULD BE REQUIRED TO WIRE THE EXCESS FUNDS VIA WESTERN UNION TO ONE OF OUR AGENTS WHOSE INFORMATIONS I WOULD PROVIDE YOU WITH IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
9.)    Lastly, if your are interested, Please forward me with the following informations to [email protected] ,so I contact the Public Relations Officer in the USA to issue and mail out deposit payment which starts our contract together.
