Please let me know and I'm looking for your reply soon.

Best Regards

Hello,

I'm a merchant from Indonesia.
I really interested to buy your item(s) directly.
I'll pay by my Mastercard/visa direct through your merchant/credit card

I'll pay the shipping cost by EMS to Indonesia.

I hope we can make a long term bussines relationship in the future.

If you agree, please reply this email.

Best regards,

Why do they bother with this crap? Oh thats right, people still fall for this scam!!

If your bank takes international checks at no extra charge (?), demand a check and wait for it to clear. I would never trust anything but straight cash from overseas if I were you. Good luck.
