Kind regards: Read well this statement: I am a retired soldier of the Ecuadorian Army with my 26 years of professional career. I AM LOOKING FOR JOB AND JOB OFFERS; I NEITHER SEEK NOR DESIRE ANY GIFTS OF MONEY NOR FINANCIAL AID. What I hope and seek is to work and job offers because I need to raise the amount of money: 300,000 American dollars to pay a heart operation to my mother and cover all expenses. Therefore I ask and pray to you that you open the doors of your heart to me and extend your hands and arms. I am a citizen of Ecuadorian nationality and professional military, I see that in some countries require labor of Latino people, or have XENOPHOBIA, RACISM AND DISCRIMINATION against us professional Latino military?. My private email address is: [email protected] and [email protected] and my mobile-whassatp number: +593988901740 He reiterated my greetings of appreciation, esteem and friendship.
