Am ok for the Model #1941 - "Tojo Latch" and am located in 14 front st,danielson,ct,06239 can u re quote me for the cost of 350 pieces of that without the cost of shipping so that we can proceed

Dear Chris,

First things first. 350 pieces of Model #1941 - "Tojo Latch" @ $26 each makes your total cost $9,100.00. These are in stock and ready to go.

And now the second thing: HELLO NEIGHBOR! We're in Putnam, Connecticut! We're right up the road from you! How's that for a coincidence! About 20 minutes away!

Well sure we can ship them to you, but it'd be just a heck of a lot easier just driving down there and dropping them off!

I love meeting my customers but it doesn't happen very often. A lot of the time I'd be shipping material off to Europe or West Africa and never get to meet people. (Actually that's not entirely true. Once I had lunch at a local diner with a customer from Ghana - that's in West Africa. What a disgusting person. You'd think he never used a fork or a spoon before. Kept eating with his hands. Even chili. What a mess. I had to tip the waitress really big to straighten that out. And you know what else. I think he shit in his pants while we were there. The smell was horrendous and the seat... well, just imagine.)

So anyway, let me know how you'd like to pay for this order and how you'd like to handle "shipping".

Thanks.

Well this is GREAT!

You mean to say that I actually won $1,000,000 Euros? (What's that in US Dollars? How about Mexican pesos?)

OK. I read your email several times and I think I can provide everything you need - almost. But your attachment didn't open and I tried everything I could think of. I hope it's not too important.

As to the list of questions:

#1 - My name is Jan Vowel and yes, I am over the age of 18. I have been over the age of 18 for 10 years. And come to think of it, I've been over the age of 10 for 18 years. How's that for a coincidence! Do you need any more verification than that?


#2 - I guess I wait for the form.

#3 - I'm not comfortable with people opening files for me, but in this case I'll allow it. So put me down for a "Yes".

#4 - You are right. I am not a residence of the Netherlands. But I do wash my nether regions every day. I think everybody should. I'm not sure if this helps, and there's really no way for me to verify this unless I sent you a video, and I really would rather not. But for $1,000,000 Euros, there's a lot I will do.

#5 - I'm glad to hear that my winnings (!!!) are in a crow account with hardcore indemniflies. It sounds safe enough.

#6 - Here's what I was telling you about. Trouble opening the attachment. Can you send it again? And maybe grease it up or something? I'm damned if I can figure out how to open it. Please try again.

#7 - This is the step I like. THE MONEY!! I'll have to think about how I want the money. I don't trust those goofballs over at my bank. They're always giving me body cavity searches... well not all of them. Just this one guy. He checks me out almost every day. Says it's "protocol". Yeah, right. But I may just take it as a certified check (and by the way, you spelled "check" wrong.)

Waiting to hear back from you, I am

Jan Vowel, Millionaire!

Hello Seller,

Thanks for the quick responce to my mail and sorry for my late response,

I am very busy at work for an assignment this days, but i am satisfy with the description and the condition you gave on the website.

I will like to make payment right away, and i will be sending your payment for the Items with a cashier check, because i have no chance to come down and i will like you to please bear with me.

And as for the pick up of the item i will know how to handle that with my mover, as soon as you cash the payment the mover will come for the pick up as soon as possible.

All you have to do is to mail me and give me the description to your place to make it easier for the mover to come and do the pick up as soon as you cash the payment.

I will send you your payment as soon as you give me the info to write the payment.

I have read through the advert and i am okay with it, so kindly withdraw the advert from the web and please i will need the following informations to post the payment

I will give you an extra $30 on the cost of your item which will serve as an inconvience fees for helping me send the excess money to the shipper's the same day you receive the package containing the payment.

Dear Angel,

Per your instructions I have removed my item from the postings. And frankly, I'm glad I'm finally selling it. Good Riddance!

It's too bad you can't come down yourself. I like to meet the people who buy the items I post. In the past when others would come to my place to pick up whatever item I was selling, very often we'd wind up having lunch or drinks together. And sometimes friendships would form. In fact 2 of my previous customers have actually served as godparents for my children from my first wife. One of my customers eventually became my phlebotomist. And another customer I actually married. (It didn't last though. She had a strange preoccupation with dung beetles.) Perhaps your mover and I will hit it off. It could happen!

You asked for a description of my place. Normally people just ask me my address, but I'm not one to be critical of people's idiosyncrasies. So here goes:

I live in a two-story blue house. It's powder-blue now but when we first painted it, it was navy blue. (Never buy cheap paint!) There are 8 windows on the street side of the house (I had to go count them.) and 1 door. The mailbox at the curb is in the shape of a dung beetle. (I keep meaning to get rid of it.) If your mover can't spot my house immediately, he'll definitely notice my neighbor to the right. On his front lawn, he has a bronze statue of Guernsey cow being ridden by a family of 4 monkeys.

Thanks for the offer of $30 but I'm only too glad to help. I've been eager to get rid of this thing ever since we saw that Center for Disease Control (CDC) report about all of those horrible deaths. I'm glad you're buying it. I hope you take the proper precautions.

Please make the check out for $1,250.00 payable to:

Booth Portnoy
525 Manitou Drive
Shecky Green, DE 19706

Thanks.

Dear Angel,

It's been so long since I heard from you. Just yesterday this Mark Ho character writes to me and I had no idea who he was or what he was talking about. So I'm surprised to see that you know him. He's your freight manager, right?

I copied his email into this one - SEE BELOW. It's a very strange email. He rambles and goes off in different directions. I suspect he may be suffering from schizophrenia, drug-related aphasia, Crohn's disease, polyps, foot rash, dry mouth, and partial tiger syndrome. I'm uneasy with the thought of contacting him. I would advise you to take precautions also.

I'm sorry to have to tell you that the item you were interested in buying has been bought by someone else. Just 3 days ago, I sold it for $45,000. And I was only asking $1,250.00. It turns out that there were 2 solid gold bars hidden inside that I never knew about. Oh well.

But don't worry dearest Angel, I have other items to sell. The other one I was telling you about for $695, I raised the price to $1,250.00. And I can ship that out to you right away. OK?

About your check... I already cashed it and used the money to buy candy.... and I ate all of it - 600 lbs. I know you don't really care what I spent my money on but I thought you might like to know what I like, especially since Christmas and my birthday are coming up. (My birthday is the day after Christmas. I really like candy. Hint. Hint.)

So should I send the other item? It's not as nice and this time I'm sure there are no gold bars in it, but I can charge you the same.

Let me know. And by the way, the shipping cost for the first item would have been $3,550, which you did not include in the check you sent me. The shipping cost for the replacement item is only $3,250. If you send that to me, I promise not to use it to buy candy. (I'm expecting some candy for my birthday and for Christmas!!)

I thought we had a decent business arrangement going on and then you slap me across the face. YOU BITCH! Who the hell do you think you're talking to? I'm not some rube.

And let me tell you another thing. I was going to send you a nice Christmas card, and I was drawing it myself. I'd been working on it for the past 2 days, special, very personalized for YOU! It's got the absolutely sweetest nativity scene with the cutest animals - lambs, cows, mules, camels. And the Holy Family looks so lovely, so divine with the cherubim and the seraphim flying low overhead. I think anybody would have loved it and the effort and care I put into it.

BUT YOU CAN KISS MY DIRTY IRISH ASS, YOU GODDAMNED BITCH!

Go on and call the FBI! See if I care. And I'm glad I ate all of that candy! Guess where your money is now! Down the toilet, that's where. And don't even bother to send me any more candy, because I won't eat it! That's how angry and upset I am.

You have insulted me more than I have ever been insulted before. And believe me, I have a very large and pointy nose, and I am cross-eyed, buck-toothed, and I have big flappy ears. I know what it means to be insulted.

I will NOT be sending any money via Western Union to you or to anyone. I don't care if you need to pay rent for your store. I don't care if you are forced into poverty because of me. You are mean and evil and I despise you with every fiber of my being.

In addition I have just contracted for a large advertisement in which I profess my total contempt and pure hatred for you. This ad will be published in 2 days and your reputation will be ruined among other people who might also have been intending to sell their items to you. As a result I doubt that you will be able to buy any items from anyone ever again. You will, in fact, be item-less for the rest of your life. You can count on it!

Go sit on a tack!

No. To all of your questions, the answer is NO. And stop apologizing. It's pathetic and embarrassing.

I used the money that was leftover from the candy I bought to make up about 200 T-shirts with this on the front:

"ANGEL CANCEL IS A PUMPKIN-HEADED WEASEL!"

And on the back it says:

"SELL NO ITEMS TO THAT ASSHOLE, ANGEL CANCEL!"

It's actually a very nice design, sort of an amber color with dark green lettering. I used an Arial font, bold, italics. I think you'd like it.

Anyway, I hope your item store fails and I hope you get shingles and I hope somebody spits in your beer.

So there.

Dearest Angel,

I wish I had better news for you but I don't. The money is all gone. I feel terrible for taking advantage of you especially when I think of how much you really wanted my ITEM. And you didn't even get that. Imagine my guilt.

Please, please don't involve the FBI. I was interrogated by them once before, many years ago, and to this day I can't look at a feather without screaming and giggling at the same time.

Would you be agreeable to a payment plan?

I owe you $1,250 for the ITEM you never received and I believe you sent me $3,500 for shipping. And then I also got a $120 bonus from you for my honesty and you also sent me a case of egg nog for Christmas (Thanks!) which I would say is worth at least $75. This total I would put at $4,945.00. But for the sake of easy math, let's round up to $5,000.00.

I could send you $5 a month for the next 1,000 months.

Let me know if this is OK for you. If it's not, I may have to declare bankruptcy, in which case you would probably receive nothing.
