Another scam for either identity theft and/or money laundering; take your pick. In this case, the scammer (the fictitious Dr. Marshall Clarks) is hoping you'll respond and give him detailed personal and financial information and then pay him "advance fees" , set-up fees, transfer fees, taxes, and whatever else he can think of. Think about it; a company doesn't need a US representative to "receive payments". A bank account of their own can do that from anywhere in the world already.
Some of the other obvious signs that this is a scam are highlighted below, such as poor spelling (and he's a Doctor???), use of free Yahoo/Hotmail/etc email accounts:
