Good Day,
How are you today?i am happy to read your email concerning the sale of your vehicle ,i am intrested in it and willing to purchase it as soon as possible.I will handle the shipment myself via my company shippers,They will come for pick up when you must have gotten your cash at hand from the bank.They will prepare all shipment papers and also bill of sales.The vechile will also be insured by my company shippers.When you must have change the title to my name (***** jones).
This is due to the fact that my mode of payment will be Via Bank Check As there are too many scams on internet with bogus account.Once you are satisfy with my mode of payment you can proceed to delete the advert of the car,So email me your name and address and also phone number to recieved the check.As soon as the check is recieved to your address proceed to cash the check,I will wait for your bank to clear the check and verify it before we proceed with shipment.I will await your email today if this is Okay by you.
