Unreal. But not only did I manage to sell my vehicle without paying a single cent on a classified ad, I also got to wade through endlessly amusing letters such as these!

Those are fantastic.
Sure, no problem. I'll send you the 'informations' and all of my personal details, down to my bank account number and what colour of socks I like to wear. Why not? You sound as though you are genuinely interested in the {merchandise} I have listed.
Sweet Mercy, I hope nobody is dumb enough to fall for that.
Oh, and by the way, congrats on selling the car!
Thanks, though I do sort of miss the old thing.
