Email of scam:

Hello, Thank you for getting back to me and letting me know that the item is still available for sale. Actually, I would have like to talk with you over the telephone but unfortunately I can neither hear nor speak. I have been like that since birth. I have been searching for a very nice gift to give a missionary friend of mine who is in Africa. I saw many items on craiglist but when I saw yours, I know that he will like it very much. I met the missionary when I went on summer vacation to West Africa and he is such a nice man. His birthday is coming up next two weeks and that is why I want to give him this gift. Please give me your full name and address so that I can pay you with Certified Merchant Express money order or alternatively, if you have a paypal account, give me your paypal email address so that I can make the payment at once. I will also include the cost of shipping it through USPS Express mail. I await your immediate response. Thanks and God bless you.
