My client was glad to see the pics of the car and he has finally accepted your price,he hopes the engine is serviced and
oil changed too .He cant wait to see the car parked in his garage.
However,My client made out a certified cashiers check of(55,000) before he travelled to japan on a business trip,for a previous car and its shipment charges etc,but it was unfortunately sold.
The amount on the check he deposited for the car is bigger than what should be paid to you now, so the check is now meant for the total expenses which includes the purchase of your car, the pick up of the car from its present location and the shipping charges/other necessary shipping arrangements.
However he has instructed us to carry on with this transaction. So you're required to deduct the cost of your car (48,000) and send the balance of (7,000) to the shipper via western union money transfer to enable him offsett shipping charges/arrangements,and taxes.
once the transaction is concluded,the shipper will be coming for the pick up of the car from its present location, on an open vehicle and then drive to a pre paid shipper for shipment,and also conclude other necessary shipping arrangements.so you dont have to bother yourself about the pick up and shipping arrangements,while title papers and other necessary documets will be sent by
you via fedex courier to my customer.
Please Confirm this and provide me your name,address and phone
number for check payment to be delivered to you via
fedex courier .
Thanks and God bles
Cheers
My reply:
You'll get the $7,000& car AFTER the cashiers check has cleared my bank.

Well i just want to inform you that the payment of the car been bought from you has been confirmed and sealed,my client said that i should inform you that the payment package will get to you on or before FRIDAY next week through fedex courier delivery.
Please you are advised to remove your car from the AD you posted it to avoid complications from other buyers.
You should consider your car sold and my client is happy and could not wait to see the car parked in his place
