Subject: Re: PAYMENT SENT
Hello Steven,
I would be happy to receive payment & send any over due monies back to you. I would feel a bit more comfortable to speak to either your wife or yourself to get the details to make everything go as smoothly as possible. Please respond with your contact information as well. Speak with you soon.
Sincerely

Hello CJ,
I hope this email finds you well. I`m very happy to inform you that the payment has been sent out today by my wife. However, there are one or two faults with the payment, though it`s not really a fault but I just think it`ll be a wise thing to inform you before it arrives so that you can be sure it`s actually the payment for my purchase. She has erroneously included the shipper`s payment with your payment as she could not really understand what my arrangements were with you.
The payment will be delivered to your mail in few days ( 2 - 3 days). Therefore, upon arrival I`ll want you to deposit the check and once processed by your bank remove your asking price and forward the rest of the money to the Freight company from which arrangement will be made for the shippings of my purchase and some other housewares from Seattle residence.
I`m very sorry for the inconvenience, I was away and busy with my official responsibilities, it was never a deliberate thing. I hope you understand what I`m going through right now. The present challenge is time demanding so I have no choice than to delegate the responsibility to my wife. I will like you to let me know soon as the payment arrives so we can finalize the transaction.
Try and get back to me upon receipt of this e mail so that I can be sure you are aware of the payment in transit. Have a pleasant day and best wishes.
Regards Steven.

Hi Steven
It does sound great, I definitely can receive a bank check. I do owe a small portion of the 6000.00 to Kawasaki. Once I receive your payment I can then rush the difference to them & they will in turn send me the Title which I will then endorse over to you. If this works for you I would be happy to forward my address & the particulars.
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to call me directly on the phone # above.
Thanks Steven look forward to hearing from you.

Sound Good,
Thanks for writing back. I am cool with your final asking price of $6000 but I need it urgently. Let me know if you will accept a bank check
payment as this is the only way I can make payment to you.
I have just been transfer to head the IT section of our office in the London. I don't mind offering you a extra $100 for holding it for me. I would have loved to come and take a look at it but I will not be able to do so due to the distance and my busy schedule with other important official obligations.
You may reply me with your full name and address where I can easily get hold of you for a better communication. I will be sending the payment as soon as I received the information from you.
As regards the shipment, I will handle the shipping expenses as I have already contacted Able cargo for the shipping of my other house items, they advised they can make the pick up from your address as soon as we have concluded the sale. I will be glad if you end this sale with me and
delete the ad from Craigslist today.
I look forward to hearing from you soon Thanks.
Regards Steven.

Hi Steven
Yes I still have it up for sale. Normally Im flexible with other things I have sold in the past, however; this motorcycle is BRAND NEW! Road it around the block for 35 miles & that's it, If you were to see it I think you would understand. It's well worth 6000
