Excellent, that is a fanatstic list. I am very interested in doing business with you. I would like various amount of tortoises from you. How much so they cost? Are they captive bred? do you have the CITES paperwork for them?
How much would shipping costs be and what payment methods?
I look forward to doing business with you.
I wait for your reply.

2) African Squrred toroise:20 in number,100(USD) per tortiose.
3) Herman's tortoise:20 in number,300(USD) per tortiose.
4) Lebanese tortoise:10 in number,250(USD) per tortiose.

Madam,They are very captive breed and have their CITES paperwork.Actually,i can't tell you exactly the shipping cost without knowing how many you need.So i need to know how many you will like to purchase before knowing how much it will cost for shippment of the tortioses to your Country so you let me know your quantity in order to know the shipping cost..I will prefer you do payment through Western Union so that the cash will be easily collected because Western Union is very closer to me.
Madam,i await you kind response asap.
Regards

Madam Kelly, OOOOH I have never been called that before, Makes me sound like a lady of the night..... anyway.... I forgot to reply but never mind, Konrade remembered me

Korade P

Please accept my apologies for not getting back to you but I have been a very busy lady indeed.
Those prices for the tortoises are just simply amazing, I now have compiled my list to you.
I would like:
2x African Squrred Tortoise or toroise (I have never heard of these but they sound enchanting)
1x Marginated tortoise
1x Aldabra Tortoise
2x Loeprad Tortoise (are these similar to the Leopard Tortoise?)

Please tell me how much payment I must send to you and what the shipping charges are.
When will I recieve my order?
Can you please tell me the ages of the toroise and tortoises?
Also please provide me with care sheets.

Many thank you's
It is a pleasure to do business with you my friend.

I am now waiting for his reply.
I shall keep you posted

Kelly, are you being serious?

There is no way you will get any animal once you have parted with your money. This is a scam

They will email you back with a price and a western money order number for you to send the money at your local shop.
Ive seen a few of these adverts and have played with them myself for a laugh. They are not even cheap to entice people.

Seriously....I want a loepard toroise. Think he has those?

Maybe a few Galapagos for $45 each too

Did you notice as well that he really wants you to "Please let me know your mine". Oo er missus. And, whats the difference between a CB tort and a very CB tort?
