This is one of the emails... *************************************************** Hello, Thanks for the quick response ,I will not be coming to view it because of my Job,i am a Marine engineer and due to the nature of my work, phone calls making and visiting of website are restricted but i squeezed out time to check this advert and send you an email regarding it.i am buying this for my Uncle as surprise gift and i am at sea right now.I am satisfied with your firm/advert price,as am requesting this transaction should be done via PayPal so the PayPal charges is on me and Payment will be made via PayPal (if you don't have an account,its easy,safe and secured just log on to ([url]www.paypal.com[/url]) to get one and get back to me with the email used.My mover will arrange for the pick up after payment clears and I hope we can make the purchase as fast as possible?
