AFRICA OR SIMILAR. UNLESS PAYMENT IS MADE ON COLLECTION JUST DON'T
BOTHER.
I SHALL REPORT ANY PERSON WHO SENDS SUCH E-MAILS AS SPAMMERS AND PASS

I'd like to buy it. Can I send you a certified cheque for £5,000,
which you can deposit and then send £4,000 of it to my friend there
that I owe money to (I'll send you his address), and then I'll send
someone to pick the car up later? Let me know.

Yours truly,
