Hi there

I will gladly help if I can.Where do you want it posted to? When I know I can calculate the postage and then we can sort out payment details.
can you give me an english contact to check the bonafida.Please forgive me for this but I have so many scam emails from africa and asia that I just wanted to be sure so that you get it. I do not want to charge you £80 if it as I expect to cost less includong postage.
I look forward to hearing from you and I will sort it out.
Many thanks

Hi again Princess, I think postage will be about 15.00 normal air mail or about £25.00 to have it tracked. Which would you like.
As soon as the money is in my paypal I will post it off to you and email you to let you know


I have not received any further response but I have emptied my paypal account just in case

Hi, i have had the same problem, the person did exactly the same by saying he was away on a business trip and he needed to give a surprise birthday present to a Aboudin lawal in Nigeria. I knew it was too good to be true and searched the name which led me to this topic. please be careful if this happens to you if you're either buying or selling.
