Hello sir,
I am interest in you coffee table. Is this item still for sales? If so I will add $3.4 million to the price if you take it off craigslist so I can be assure of acquire.
Please tell to me if I can serve tea on this table or will it collapse under the pressures? I enjoy beverages and like to use this for many thing (also hot dog)(with chili).
My shipping agent will arive your home with peni$ sticking out of zipper. That way you will know this is correct shipping agent and not imposter. If any shipping agent arrive WITHOUT exposed penile tissue DO NOT GIVE HIM TABLE. I love you to provide me with coaster for beverage. Also 2 napkin.
Please you will send me a bank wire for $2.8 million and I will send you the money back. Then we will know we are both honest persons and can do business.
I look forward to drinking my tea (and eating chili hot dog) on your table after my exposed peni$ shipping agent deliver it to my shack in Nigeria... eh... I mean my mansion in Beverly Hill.
I love you to remove the listing and send wire.
I love you.
John Smith
P.S. I love you so much.
