Subject: INFORMATION/PAYMENT AND PICKUP

Hello,

Thanks for your prompt response to my email. I will like to know the cost of price of the alfalfa hay which is $8.5/bale of 100 Bale of the available hay which I think it's $850. I would prefer if it's a square bale but I don't mind if you have round as well.

Furthermore, I will like to let you know that I'll also be responsible for the pickup at your location because I have a horse to pickup as well. I have a hauler who will coming to your end for pickup as soon as the payment has been made and confirmed by him. I will be making the payment via a certified check drawn from a US bank. Get back to me with the below information:

Full Names to be on the check:
Full Address (No. Po Box please):
City:
State:
Zip code:
Phone numbers:

In addition, I will be needing the hay supply as soon as possible, so we have to make this payment and pickup arrangement asap because we're running out of hay supply, then I might not be able to pay full attention to this transaction right now because i'm extremely busy at work as I have other indispensable transactions to attend. I really can't predict what it would look like in the coming few days but I believe I can handle this whole transaction to you and my hauler. I'll be making a dual payment, in which the payment will cover the fund for the hay and little part of the pickup for the hauler to come to your location for pickup. My hauler will be contacting you as soon you receive the check. I hope you understand. I hope to have a long term business relationship with you.  I look forward to reading from you soon and do have fun and a day full for pleasantries.

Thanks a bunch!!!

Regards,

Rom
