« on: September 15, 2008, 06:47:44 PM »
Hello i really appreciate your response to my earlier mail.like i said
i will like to buy this item so pls do withdraw the advert from
Craigslist. I will also like you to know that i will be paying via
check due to the distance as i am located in Florida.I will need you
to provide me with the following information to facilitate the mailing
of the check.

1.Your full name
2.Your mailing address be it residential or postal address
3.Your phone number.

I will like you to know that you will not be responsible for shipping
i will have my mover come over as soon as you have cashed the check**

Have a nice day.
