The second e-mail
i was just about to make the payments when i had this little problem with the picking up of the item ,I work as a navvy and am currently at sea at the moment and i am buying the item for my Wife as i explained earlier on and i tried to book pick up with my pick up agent, but they asked me to pay first before they can make the booking, and they only accept western union money transfer for payments and they don't accept paypal or bank transfer. So i tried to send the money online but i couldn't and I am on sea and there is no way i can find a western union agent to make the transfer to my pick up agent, so i wanted to ask if it was ok for me to include my pick up agent's fees in the payments I am about to send through paypal to your paypal account, my pick up agent charged 300 Dollars plus insurance and all of that,please can i include there money in the payments I want to send then after i have made the payments you will help me forward the 300 Dollars to my pick up agent through (Western Union Money Transfer). This I would have done myself and not bother you but the for the fact that I am currently on sea, so after I have made the payments you will help me send 300 Dollars to my pick up agent through western union money transfer, I just wanted to seek your consent before going ahead with the payments I will more than appreciate if you mail me back,I have calculate it the price of the item plus the fee for the pick up agent coming to pick up the item and westernunion charges, Total is = $2,400 Dollars and I will be making the payments shortly. as soon as you get back to me to proceed on the payment.i could have ask you to use ups or other service but N.B ups or fedex and others does not delivered to my wife address... PS:the shipping company's Head quarters and any pick up fees to be paid is sent to their head quarters by the payee, so the money for pick up will be sent to their head quarters through(Western union money Transfer) (this can be done from any post office) at westernunion or money grams. Best Regards ..Thanks
