This email has lots of clues that show it's a money transfer/mule scam. The Dear Sir/Madam (unsolicited = spam), the fact that it's a UK textile company (they all supposedly are), they want you to process payments, keep a percentage and wire the balance (bank fraud, wire fraud), it's legal (it never is when they say that), and they want to give you big pay for only 3-4 hours per week ($3000-$4000 for 16 hours of work per month!). They claim they have to do this because of the amount of tax they would have to pay, which is just a lame excuse to convince you this is a perfectly normal way to do business. Which it isn't.Message text: Dear Sir/Madam, W&C Textiles Limited is a UK textile company.
