I always love reading these. The "perfect" english is always the give away . By the way, the suggestions you gave me for the ad worked. Just sold the FFR two days ago.

Have a good one,

Mike

Hmm, Why don't they just say:

I want to steel your car with a bad check and I will pay you more than you are asking so long as you will send the the difference back in cash before the stolen check bounces back to your bank.

If this is OK just let me know where I can come and get the car.
