Need a great idea... and hopefully one that ends in him getting busted if possible (after we toy with him a bit). Hello Boyd, Thanks for the mail i am curently jumping Samurai 170, the price is okay by me and i am ready to purchase from you immediately, and i want you to delete the ad from the website, i have a reputable shipper that will take care of shipping from your end......As regard payment this is what i am going to do, i have a client in the US that is owing me the sum of $ 3,100 , i will instruct him to issue you a Cheque on my behalf to you and as soon as it arrives, you hold out your amount and send the difference to my shipper via Western Union because part of it will be used for the pick up and shipment in your place, i hope i can trust you with that and also you will be contacting my shipper with all neccesary information needed to pick up the item in your place i.e the actual weight and exact dimension of item . if this terms are okay by you, do get back to me with the tfollowing details which ! payment will be made out to you like this Home Address...

Waiting to hear from you. Xenile.Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out and shouting, ".... holy crap....what a ride!"
