Hello Jay EuDaly,
Thank you for the email,Kansas City will work for me.
As long as they can get a good place to stay for 4wks.I would like them to rent an
Apartment for the 4wks duration or maybe a Hotel to stay close to you so they can
come for the lesson with you and also enjoy their holidays as well.
   
  Let me know if you can locate some nice reservations for both of them.
  Please i will await your email.
  Thank you.

Hello Jay,
Thanks for your mail, also for the accepting to take my childen.The Hotel
reservations has been made and will be paid as soon as the boys arrive.
  
I will instruct my Business Associates  in the US to issue out the payment of $3,000
for the Holiday trip,this should cover their lessons and accomodation(This should
cover their accomodations and lesson fees).Since the boys wouldnt be able to cash US
bank cashiers check i would like it to be made out to you.
  I hope i can trust you to receive the payment on their behalf ,once you get the
check deduct the your money for the 4wks lesson duration and then you will wire
the rest via western union to their travel agent.
  My Boys will be arriving next week but the payment will be paid before they arrive
so you can give the rest to their travel agent who will arrange everything for
them from JFK airport.
 
For this i would require the following details below 
 
 1.  Your Full Name:
 2.  Your Contact Address
 3.  Your  Phone Number
 
  Once you provide me with this i will forward to my business associate to have the
check made out to you.
Please let me know what you think about this arrangments,i guess you havent had such
big arrangemets.Its just that i want the best for my Children and they have never
been to the US and its been their dream .
  
Thank and God bless you,
Best Regards
Dr. Christopher

Hello Jay EuDaly ,
I just received your email, im glad the payment has got to you.The boy's will be
making arrangements to leave this weekend.
I will have them start parking their bags immediately,But you will have to contact
their travelling agent.
I'm aware you received a sum of $3,000 and the lesson should cost about $400,You
shouid deduct their lesson fees from the money plus an extra $100 for your self.
  The rest of the money you received is to be wired to their travelling agent who
will be arranging for their and hotel reservations.
I hope i can trust you,i would need you wire the balance of the funds to thier
travelling agent by WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER. 
 
I would like the money sent to her via WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER.I hope you can
locate one close to you.
Here's Her Details:LATONIA THOMPSON
                         131 CHATEAU PL 
                           MILWAUKEE, WI  54405
               
  Once this is done,could you please email me with the transfer details used in
wiring the money.
Please, i hope you can have this done today because i told her about the
arrangements and she started booking the weekend for my children.
 
Await your response with the western union transfer details.
 
Chris.

See the pressure to do this TODAY? He doesn't want me to wait to make sure the check clears. Western Union Money Transfer is like cash. Once it's wired it's gone. He's got it and I don't. Then 3 weeks from now the check will come back and I'll be stuck for $2500.00 plus the bank fees.

Nice try - it takes 7-10 business days, sometimes as long as 3 weeks.
So...I would be interested in listening to you try to convince me this is
not a scam.

Yours,
Jay
