instance in your country as soon as you get paid. All Iwant from you is
first accept my proposal, then you send to me a letter of acceptance with
the promise that you will pay me the fee as quickly as you receive the funds
in your account. You will also state in the letter that you will be
responsible for my flight ticket (round trip) from here to your country and

payment instructions and partticulars which must be done immediately.
Please be advised that we must work together to get this thing done as
quickly as possible.
