my take: be careful cos i was also given a similar appointment letter but i discovered the signatures on the appointment letters were scanned and [pasted on the appointment letter. i also contacted the company itself online and i was told they knew nothing about the job. so shine ur eyes

This is called format in yahoo boys jargon. U fall and they earn shikena.

You don't need anyone to tell you this is scam. Check the writeup, the english is bitter lemon. Please be careful with this thieves

Run ooooooooo, it is scam! I got sth of dis nature from dem too. It is not real. To get a job,u have to write an aptitude test(maybe) and an interview.but dis person sent u an appointment letter without interview right? Then u do not need anyone to tell u its a scam.

Lol. Mine was dpr certificate, now it's insurance. Naija my country
