Hi,

How are you doing? I got a confirmation today that the payment has been processed and sent by the sponsors but there is a little Problem.The car rental fee (limousine)that will be responsible for conveying us during our vacation period and they will be the one to pick us up at the airport and also handle all of our traveling affairs was included in your home rental fee.
I want you to do me a favour.I would like you to take out the rental fee for reservation and send the remaining balance to the car rental via western union money transfer or Moneygram so I would be assured that our traveling arrangement is secured and finalized.

Do you know any Western union or Moneygramm outlet around you?I do appologise for any inconviniences caused you. Hope to hear from you ASAP.

Have a nice day.

Thanks
p.s. people say God Bless all the time here, so although I haven't ever noticed it in a first inquiry before, I must admit it didn't raise a flag. This person's command of English is good, maybe they are.

Can i have your Phone number?
I might tell her I'm deaf, so don't use a phone. There's a small risk that she might notice the number in the signature file, but it hasn't happened yet .........
