My Standard Reply

Michal,
Here's the deal, I will pay your shipping on this snake for you. Give me your address and I will send you a cheque for £29'500, please deduct your shippers fees and then forward the rest of the money on to my account (of course you can take an extra £5000 for your troubles).

Once the shipping has been arranged, please send me CASH for the bumblebee female.

If you need to discuss anything with me, please call 0909 021 3462

Best regards
Scott
