Thanks so much for your update <snip>,all the content of your messange which you sent on Monday, August 27, 2007 was carefully understood and i really appreciate your trust toward the success of this transaction.However,I think its time to let you know the personality of who you are talking to on here.Permit me to introduce myself.I'm Mr Bill Scottman am a christian as well and an Anglican.There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man. mark 7;15.Moreover I want you to have the Full trust and believe i can not be on here to hurt or cause you anything,I have told my shipper that their payment will be ready any moment form now and they are really counting on me.I want you to kindly go now to the Money Gramm and send the Total Amount of $...after you have the deduct $....Hence I will be waiting for the Transfer details as i will want the transfer to take place today.I will love to read back from you the Money Gramm details so as for the shipping company to make all the necessary Pre-shipment documentation and make the shippment schedule on timeThanks and God Bless.
