The management of LEE Engineering and Const. Co. Ltd has decided that you will be starting work with our organization on or before the the 30/10/2014 depending on when you send the requested documents for the processing of your work permit and visa. 

Your first two months with the company is considered the probation period, during this period, you will be expected to give in your best to maintain your position. We provide costumes and all working tools to employees, we are responsible for your to and fro flight ticket, visa and work permit. We also pay one month advance salary to employees after their second week of work to enable employees to settle down in their new environment. Your salary during the probation period will be $4041. 
Upon successful completion of the probation period, you will be moved to our company's residential area which is a spacious apartment suitable for you and your family.

You will then sign a full-time contract with the company. We offer sponsored holidays trips to our employees four times yearly, after every three months, you will be entitled to a two week holidays. Your family members are free to visit you twice a year at the expense of the company.
Our insurance policy covers one employee and four family members, we offer to and fro flight ticket to employees and their family members. You don't have to pay for your flight and traveling documents, it's our company's responsibility. You will have to pay 2.5% of your wages for tax and insurance cover.
You will have to make arrangements for your accommodation during the first two months of the probation period, our organization do not make arrangement or provide accommodation to employees during the probation period, we did so in the past but had failure from some employees. You are free to look for any place to stay any where in the city or around the job site. 

If you have a place to stay, we will need to verify that it is close to the job site and also save for you. Our organization will reimburse to you the amount paid for your accommodation when paying your first salary after your first week of work with the company, this is because we have paid for accommodation, work permit and flight tickets for employees who never showed up to resume duties after signing the contract and receiving their package. We ended up wasting time and money. We just want to make sure that we are making departure arrangements for employees who are serious to relocate and work with our company in the Bonaberi road and bridge construction project and the second phase of the Kribi deep seaport complex.

We offer food to employees in Bassa community guest home, we also transport employees from Bassa community guest home to their work sites. we have been holding series of meetings with the government of Cameroon to ensure the security of our employees following the ongoing crisis in the neighboring country Nigeria.

The government of Cameroon has put in place enough security in and around the work sites and in the Bassa community guest home where our employees are presently residing.
We recommend Bassa community guest home to all employees for it's security, comfort and closeness to the work site.

Dear xxxxxxxxx

You just need a yellow fever vaccines at the time of departure from your airport. You will be issued a yellow card after receiving the yellow fever vaccine. We can only arrange for you to depart from Cape town international airport or OR Tambo international airport from Johannesburg. You will have to choose from any of the above airports. you can also advice me on this email address pelembutho@ymail.com

Please read carefully because this applies to every job offer you receive!  99% of email job offers are scams!  When asking if a job offer is fake, include the entire email you received! No real company hires you without an in person, face to face interview.  An email, online or telephone interview is always a scam! No real company ever charges any money for a job for any reason including housing, couriers, insurance, visas or work permits! So, if they ask for money for ANY reason, its a scam! If they want you to pay and say they will refund the costs, you will just send money to a fake embassy official, travel agency or lawyer who is a really a scammer! Read:  www.scam-job-emails.tk  No real company, government or visa agent ever uses a free or public email address (yahoo.com gmail.com hotmail.com, aol.com, admin.in.th, etc.)  Email addresses like diplomats.com, counsellor.com, consultant.com, lawyer.com etc. are also free email addresses.  Read: www.scam-email-addresses.tk No real 
company, government, lawyer, travel agent or visa agent 
ever requests money via wire to a bank account or by Western Union or MoneyGram. Read: www.never-wire-money-to-strangers.tk No real company uses a telephone number that begins with +44 70, +44 871, +44 870, +44 844, or +44 845. Those are forwarding numbers which are not in the UK.  Read: www.scam-telephone-numbers.tk 
If the company does not have a website or the website does not work, it is a scam!  Do not assume a website is legit!  Read 
www.scamwebsites.tk
 
There are no exceptions!  Don't let a scammers convince you otherwise!  A scammer is only as smart as his victim is naive!  If something sounds too good to be true, it is a scam! Publicity defeats scammers.  Post the scam emails you receive and warn your friends! Always "Google" all telephone numbers, email addresses and websites in any job offer to see if it has already been posted as a scam!
