any of you have pianos listed on the internet.</font></div>

<div><font face="Arial">This is the first response for an ad I have on Craigslist
(CL). I had two such responses a minute or so apart time stamped about 3
AM. I didn’t give it a second thought and deleted the second one thinking
it was a double send. I looked closely at it later and found the second
one to be the exact same response to the second piano I have listed for the same
price. A glace at the title and all I saw was the price and deleted the
second one.</font></div>

interested and I'll<br>like to read from you ASAP.</font></div>

<div><font face="Arial">Talk about grammatical errors Mr. Thumpe.

<div><font face="Arial">Ok so I responded thinking their command of the language
is a bit out of practice but maybe she plays the piano well
............... or maybe not. You don’t have to know how to write
the language well to be interested in my piano.</font></div>

<div><font face="Arial">Here’s the comeback 14 hours later.</font></div>
<div><br></div>
<div><font face="Times New Roman">Hi,<br><br>I will like you to get back to me
with its present condition. I'm<br>asking this because my schedules at work are
so tight and I will not<br>be around to view it before finalizing the purchase.
I think it is<br>better if you can email me with pictures but if that is not
possible<br>and you can assure me of getting the best there is no
problem.<br><br>I'm sending you a cashiers check and will wait till it clears
your<br>bank before any shipping arrangement is done. Also will be sending
the<br>payment in excess, the check will include the shipper's charge.
You<br>will faithfully deduct your part and give the difference to the
mover<br>for their service.<br><br>I will make sure I include sufficient funds
that will cover your money<br>and the shipping charge.<br><br>Kindly get back to
me in your next email with your full name and<br>address for the payment to be
sent as soon as possible.<br><br>Thank you.</font></div>
<div><font face="Times New Roman"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Arial">After a minute or two I decided to take a closer look at
the this email’s twin that I deleted. I won’t be responding to either of
them. Hey, anyone wanna buy some pianos??</font></div>
