DaveO 0 #3 October 7, 2005 This person just sent me this e-mail in a reply to a FOX canopy I have for sale. *** As regards payment,this is what i am going to do.I have a client who is owing me $2,500 i would instruct him to makeout a certified check/Money Order to you in that amount and as soon as it clears your bank. you can now deduct your money from it and send me my balance via western union ,i will be using part of the money to pay for the shipping and other expenses ..Although the value of the check is more than the asking price but i think i should be able to trust you with my balance. So if my terms are acceptable to you,i would like you to give me your full name,address and phone number so that i can instruct my client to make out the check to you. Pls get back to me as soon as you get this mail so that we can round things up in a timely fashion. Thanks in this regard Belinda. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
