about packing envelopes

I used to work in a factory stuffing envelopes ( a ligit job) it was minimum wage and there were targets to beat, which realistically could never be done (they would change the job in hand to another stuffing envelope company when the targets were in sight they would change back. and this was continuous. you had to be fast, very fast or you could be out of a job, there are skills involved :) such as wetting about 30 envelopes at once and sealing ect, ect.

anyway please be wary when someone offers money such as £1 per envelope ect as if that was the case i could be very very rich :D

    At least you appear to have had a real job - actually paid a wage for doing the work, even if you weren't in a position to gain all that may have been "offered".

    However the offers of £1 per envelope are not really for stuffing envelopes - they are for paying for advertisements which draw in more people apparently to stuff envelopes but actually to receive instructions on how to pay for advertisements to draw in more people to do the same thing.
