Quick background:

Selling my wife's 2000 Chrysler 300M via a couple of different venues. Low and behold, Mr. Don Wilson, buyer's agent, wants to offer me the deal of a lifetime...you all know the drill from here.

I could just delete the email and be done with it...but I am feeling rather 'festive'. How about we play a game with this guy?

Here's his email:

Hello Jerry,
Sorry for my late response, i was out of town but i am back.
Thank you for your update and prompt response. Due to time constraint on the fact that we are running short of time and considering that our company have done a lot of good purchases on internet mostly from autotrader site without a problem, i am delighted to tell you that my client has commended your vehicle and he has instructed me to carry on with this transaction, he also instructed me to inform you that payment will get to you in a cashier check of $16,500, which is a refund payment of a cancelled order earlier made by my client. Due to company policy this check has to be made out in this amount to you ,because company policy only allows a refund payment on one cashier cheque. So you are required to deduct the cost of your vehicle $10,300 when payment gets to you and refund balance $6,200 to the shipper via western union money transfer for him to be able to offset shipping charges. After payment has reached you and balance sent to shipper, the shipper's agent will come for inspection, pick up (of vehicle & signing of title papers) and drive to a prepaid shipper to be shipped to my customer. Confirm this and forward your Names, Address and Phone number for payment to be made to you as soon as possible.
Best regards to you and your family.
Donald

NOTE:This deal can be cancelled if by the time of pick and vehicle is
found to deviate from the condition you notified in autotrader
