#4147 by John DeLaney Thu Jul 17, 2008 4:38 am
Another form type letter sent in response to an advert on craigslist.

Note the highlit areas, claims to be local, but has to use money orders, is not really interested in what the article is. condition, price, and again a seperate shipping company is going to be involved.
