Greetings..............Dave
Thanks for your time , effort and anticipated cooperation ....i am happy to inform you that I have concluded with my client and he has instructed me to carry on with the transaction,he said that I should inform you that payment will get to you in a Cashier Check of ($11,380usd) drawn in any of the AMERICAN BANKS which is a refund payment of a cancelled order earlier made by my client.
Due to the company's policy this check has to be made out in this amount ($11,380) to you because the company's policy only allows a refund payment on one cashier check,so you are required to deduct cost of your bike ($6,600) usd when payment gets to you and refund balance of ($4,780usd) to an agent who my client will appoint via western union money transfer or moneygram international money transfer for him to offset shipping /pickup charges ,contracting of the Pick up Agent, procure a temporary registration permit tag ,taxes, commission charges and any other handling bills.
After payment has reached you and balance sent back to his agent - the agent will contact the PICKUP AGENT-who will come for the pick up of the vehicle to be shipped to my client. My client is making necessary arrangement with some of the agent(s) and will provide me with the pickup/test rider agent information as soon as he decides whom to use as an Agent for the pickup of the bike.
NOTE: MY CLIENT ADVISED THAT YOU ARE EXPECTED TO DEDUCT THE TRANSFER CHARGES FROM THE REMAINING BALANCE [$4,780 USD] YOU ARE TO SEND TO THE AGENT VIA MONEY GRAM INTERNATIONAL MONEY TRANSFER OR WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER
Please confirm this whole arrangement and provide the details below for check payment to be delivered to you thanks.
PAYMENT INFORMATION:
1. LEGAL NAME IN FULL.........
2. POSTAL MAIL ADDRESS..........
3. PHONE NUMBER (S).................

(1) what is your firm price.........???
There is $6600 left to pay...taking over payments is a possible option (I pay $155/month)
(2) Is there any accident history...........???
No accidents at all, and I'm the only owner
(3) Is it currently mechanically sound..........???
All required tuneups have been performed and the only "issue" I had was a faulty O2 sensor around 3000 miles, which has been long repaired
(4) Why do you want to sell the bike.............???
Can't afford the extra payment every month...that's the only reason, it's been a great ride...
(5) Hope all the documents (TITLE) are complete........???
The bank holds the title, but should be fine...
(6) Where is the bike currently located..................???
Jacksonville, Florida
(7) Attach at least 3 most recent pics of the bike for evaluation.
Will have to get you some pics over this weekend...
Also provide the VIN so that i can request for a carfax history report of
the bike.
VIN - 4MZWX12J443475023
Don't hesitate to contact me! I'll try and get pics to you in the next couple days...
