how are you today fine i presume i was fortunate to come accross
the advert of the sale of your car on the net,i would like to know if
it is still available for sale and i would like to signify my
interest in the car as it is the exact match i had always wanted
secondly i would like the transaction to be as fast as possible as i
aim purchasing the car for my wife's 34th birthday which would come
up soon ,so i would not want any delay as i still have to ship the
car down as iam an international buyer ,i would like you to get back
to me with the present conditions of the car and pics if possible as
regards the payment i would be willing to pay via a cheque, banker
draft drawn out of a uk bank which i wouldnt mind
to wait till it gets cleared before having the keys to the car i
would also want you to know that iam ok with the price of £3500 and i could as well part with £100 extra for you to put
the car
in good shape prior to the pickup please get me updated as soon as
possible.
Looking forward to doing business with you have a wonderful day
ahead of you
best regard0 -
Dear George
Well, that is really marvellous.
I would love to save you some money so when you come to collect please pay just £3,300 in cash. That will save you £200!
How will you travel from Fort Lauderdale to the UK?0 -
thanks so much for the prompy reply but before we can continue with any transaction i would like you to send photos of the car to me so i can know its pristine state,so i hope to get them soon but before then have a blessed day.

Dear George
It is getting dark now; I will take some photos tomorrow.
There is only slight paintwork damage on the rear bumper. The rest of the car is perfect.

thanks so much for the reply. I am very much interested in
the car as iam ok with the conditions of the car the pics are
wonderful. My wife has approved the car and we would like to
acquire it asap as it is just the exact match we have always
wanted,Unfortunately we are presently in belgium but we will still
arrange for the shipping and freight details.As regards the mode of
payment i have decided to pay via a cheque through an investment
company in the uk and a cheque drawn out of a uk bank ,The reason
being that it takes three days for a cheque drawn out of a uk bank to
clear than an international cheque from belgium ,secondly to releive
you of the stress of having to wait for weeks or months and i would
want the transaction to be
wraped up fast so i can have delivery of it as soon as possible in
other not to loose the car.My investment company are to issue a
cheque of £7,200 which if
it is agreeable by you I shall have them write the cheque in your
name then when you get the cheque you would deduct your funds of
£3500 and then the balance funds would be transfered to the freight
agent via western union money transfer for the procurement of
neccesary documents prior to the pickup of the car at your
location,if you are ok with the arrangement i would advise you get
back to me with the details of your full name,address and mobile
phone number as it should appear on the cheque so payment can be made
asap,please i hope i can trust you with my balance and as soon as the
cheque clears into your account i would want you to withdraw the
balance and then transfer it via western union money transfer
immediately so shippment can take please as soon as possible,I
anxiously await your reply.pls remember to send your phone number so i can call you0 -
Dear George
So, you will send me a cheque for £7,200 and I then send £3,700 to your freight company, Western Union? Yes, I can do that once the cheque you have sent me has cleared. Will you also want me to send the registration documents of the car to your freight company, or post them directly to you? Perhaps you had better send me contact details for both you and your freight company?
I trust you can send the cheque as soon as possible. It is a pleasure doing business with you.
My details are:
Mr. Paul Varjak
(my address details here)
My mobile phone number is: 07849 xxxxxx or, if you are calling from overseas: +44 7849 xxxxxx
(the phone number is one of those free O2 SIM cards seen on MSE, that I will throw away when I am fedup of him)0 -
Hello Paul,i want you to know that payment arrangement is already in process0

Dear George
Thank you for being so prompt. But, please tell me, where I should send the V5 registration document for the car?
