Thanks for the swift response. I'm very much interested in your advert and will like you to get back to me on it's condition and final asking price. I will be requesting this transaction to be done via PayPal,so the PayPal charges is on me. Kindly send me your PayPal email address or send me a money request so that i can proceed with the payment asap as am very busy with my United Nations Missionary project and do not have much time around me.

What do you think?

Srsly though, what can go wrong if you send him a request via paypal?  :lipsrsealed:

I love how all of the spam emails they have something to do with missionary work or finding that you are owed 67 trillion!  :grin:
