This letter looks like a scam.  The letter contains grammatical errors, and the punctuation is suspect.  Are they (you) trying to get an H1-B visa?  Have you Googled "William Michael Ridgley" and "Mrs. William Gloria" and the company, and looked for scam alerts?  Who approached whom in regard to this job?  What country are you in/from?

[TBoneTX 45,229]

The (773) phone matches that of a freight company in Chicago.  Is the job that they're offering you something that they can't hire a U.S. citizen for?

[TBoneTX 45,229]

This Ridgley seems to live in Nevada, not Maryland.

Furthermore, the hiring company cannot guarantee you a visa.

I did check for the two (2) names but there are a lot of results in facebook and linkedin. yes they are trying to get me an H1-B visa.  I checked on their company Allegro Tracking and they have email address and other companies with almost the same company name and industry.  I remember commenting "interested" on a post via LinkedIn for a job opportunity in the US, Europe and UAE. then I received an email from a certain "Angelina Zeta Collins" telling me that she endorsed me to Allegro Tracking and the company is interested to hire me.

It would be foolish to send money to this, IMHO.

 

And why would someone you don't know "endorse" you?

Yes I already also checked on the "773" phone number and it matches the number of the company in Chicago.  during my interview they told me that they have hired 3 or 4 US citizens but they only lasted for 2 months and resigned after. that is why they decided to hired outside the US.

Lots of typos and asking for money to process a work visa. This is a scam. Don't be tempted by their empty promises to secure you a work visa.

[TBoneTX 45,229]

You should forward this letter and all previous correspondence to the authorities.

It is Angelina Zeta Collins who posted the job opportunity in Linkedin.

Is that someone you know personally?

 

No?

 

Dude, it's a scam.  This is not how employment or visas in the US work.  Please don't waste your money.  You'd be better off responding to a Nigerian royalty email.

This is absurd.

 

Do you know how expensive it is for companies to petition employees from overseas??

Accountants do not hire people - HR people do.
