    Hi ,

    You have to bear with me as I have hearing problems,hence the use of relay.The reason I am sending you this email is to make final reconfirmation of the (puppy).Payment will be by certified United state postal money order. In view of this I need you to email me any information that may be required to send the check, as I do not want to send the check to a wrong location lest they gets into the wrong hand.Am in illinios where i live with my kids,i run a store i own,I really want to get the Puppy to my Home ok.I will still need you to send me pictures ok, I am not currently in town,am on vacation.....
    Regarding the pickup, I have a company that takes care of the pick up of my consignments for me and ship to my destination anywhere in the U.S.A, you do not worry about shipping, the company will send down a representative to arrange the sales documentation and the pick up from your end for onward transfer to my destination.
    I also want to alert you on the fact that you will be recieving an overdraft United state postal money order, which will cover the money for the pickup (pickup and shipping to the final destination) as well as the money to be paid to the company that will take care of the pickup and the documentation with you. So please, as soon as you receive the United state postal money order, go and cash them immediately, deduct the money that accrues to you, and send the balance to the Head Office of the company that handles the shipment is in New-York city via the nearest Western Union agent in your area. Deduct the Western Union charges from the balance and send the remaining to New York immediately .
    The CHECK will be in your name to make it easier for you to receive payment, deduct your money and send the balance via Western Union as regards my earlier direction, please reconfirm your details one more time.I will give you the details of the company that you will send the balance of the money to in New York City, New York State once I get a reply and agreement that you will send the money to New York City , New York State via Western Union money trnasfer immediately you cash the Money Order.
    Once the money is received by the agent in New York , the shipping agent will contact you immediately to arrange the documentation as well as the pick up immediately. So in view of the above, here are some of the details I will need for final issuance of the United state postal money order to you.

    (1) Full Names
    (2) Mailing address, No P.O.Box Please
    (3) Your direct Telephone Numbers(Home and Office and Cell)
    (4) Acceptance of my offer and agreement to send the balance of the money to my shipping agent in New York City , New York State Via Western Union Money Transfer.

    Once you get back to me with all the above, the United state postal money order will be issued out immediately and it will be sent to you .

    Hope to hear from you immediately.

    N.B I WOULD GIVE AN EXTRA $50 IF The PUPPY IS RESEVED FOR ME
