Default in my mail today

got this in my mail today lol

Hello,

I know that you have many choices on eBay and I appreciate that you contacted me. First of all, let me assure you about the performances and about the condition of it. As you can see in the images the car is in a perfect shape, perfect cosmetic and engine conditions, and meticulously maintained, never touched the ground. No damage, no scratches or dents, no hidden defects, the engine doesn't smoke, runs and sounds awesome, the engine has never been repaired or something like that, never been into accidents and it is as advertised . The price I am after is £5,500.00 pounds sterling. I'm the owner with the V5 in hand and the transaction can be completed quickly. You will receive all the papers and documentation, the clear title and the certificate of origin and all the bills and invoices. There is no liens on the title (CLEAR HPI) and you will not have any complications about the registration and licensing the car. I'm a veterinary, specialized in thoroughbred (horses) and for the next three months I will be located in Madrid, Spain at a special training program along with the car. The car is ready for delivery, sealed and packaged so we can close the deal as soon as you're ready. A deposit of £2,000 is requiered to buy my car and reserve it for you. The shipping costs are deducted from the price so there will not be any additional costs or charges for you regarding the shipping. I will only close the deal through eBay. I am eligibile for their protection for transactions up to £10,000.00 against fraud and material misrepresentation through the Vehicle Purchase Protection Program. This program is provided for free on all eligible passenger vehicle transactions completed on the eBay Automotive site. There's no sign-up, opt-in, or registration necessary. Your passenger vehicle purchase is protected for up to £10,000.00 or the vehicle purchase price, whichever is lower. If we will agree the terms of the sale, i will register the transaction with eBay Automotive. You will send the transfer details to their staff, they will verify the payment and if everything is in order, they will advise me to ship the car. After you'll receive the car, you'll have 7 days period for inspection. If you deciede to keep the car, ebay will release the payment details to me. If, for some reason at all, you don't want to keep the car you will get your money back. So, eBay will release the payment details to me only after you'll receive and test the car.
I hope you'll agree with my terms and we'll finalize the transaction smooth and fast. If you agree with my terms, forward me your details (full name, address and ebay ID) so we may begin this transaction through ebay.

Thank you for your conceded time, I'm waiting for your reply.
D.T.

sounds good dont it!!

Tell him that by a stroke of luck you happen to be a equine lecturer and are visiting a vet collage in Madrid next week to give a talk on the pro's and CONS of hourse drugs! and can you look at the car and bring the money!
