Please let me know if it will be available and the total cost for that
period in euro.
Let me read from you today.

If you receive this one do not answer.
He claims to have sent you a cheque, whoops he filled it in for an extra 4000 euros by mistake. Never mind just bank his cheque and send him one of yours for 4000 euros.
When you e-mail him asking if his real name is Freddie Star (Comedian) he actually asks you to trust him, it is his "watchword" he claims. Do i make myself clear was his final sentence. Sorry my last sentence cannot be printed in a nice place like this.
