tell you that i am really so much apprecaite in your

well as your your full Name and Address in order to
issue out the payment,Pls bear in mind that you are
not to bother yourself about the shipping of the item
because i have alot of items that will be ship
together with yours,i have courier shipping company
that will come for pick-up,so the freight company has
been arrange for the the pick-up of the items, the
shipping company will come to your loaction and have
the item pick-up so you dont have to bother your

some EXTRA FEE will be added to the check which is
meant for Shipping ReferenceGuide such as custom dues

you receive the check,you are to cash the check or
deposit and deduct your sale money and also deduct $20
for any inconvinece,send the extra fee to shipping
company .so you make sure that some changes to be made
like making the change of ownership and papers-
