Dear Owner,

I am pleased to hear from you happy weekend. I am from Libya in Africa; my payment method is by cashier Check or by money order. After the transaction of payment as been settle, my agent will come to pick up the boat for shipping to proceed on the transaction.

My client will pay the price of $29,000.00 as you said since the condition is ok, immediately with a cashier’s check or money order, But amount is going to be in an amount larger than the cost for the boat the amount is going be for the sales and shipping of the boat and some others items from your US to Libya. The amount that will be sent to you is $62,500.00 and you would have to withdraw the cost for the boat $29,000.00 from it immediately you cash it and send the balance $31,500.00 to my shipping agent via wire transfer (Western Union / Money Gram).

Provide your full Names to be on check, mailing address and your cell phone number, where the check will be sent. Also I need the company address were the boat can be picked up at; ask questions where you are not clear.

Example 2 - Third Party Transactions

Hello Mr. Owner,

Thanks for the response to our demand, I’m Happy to tell you that I have concluded with the client and he has instructed me to carry on with the transaction on your vessel, he said that I should inform you that payment will get to you in a Certified check of $15,000.00 which is a refund payment of a cancelled order earlier made by my client.

Due to company policy this check has to be made out in this amount to you, because company policy only allows a refund payment on one certified check, so you are required to deduct cost of your vehicle $8,000 when payment gets to you and refund balance $7,000.00 sent to my client's Shipping Agent via Money gram money transfer for him to be able to offset shipping charges and necessary paper work for shipping.

After payment has reached you and balance sent to the Agent, they will come for the pick up and take the vehicle to the prepaid shipper to be shipped to my customer destination, while other necessary documents, you will hand over to the Agent on the day of pickup.

Please confirm this and provide the following below for check payment to be delivered to you via courier service.
