Subject: 173 Blizzard Argos w/DIN 12

Hello

I am interested in buying the 173 Blizzard Argos w/DIN 12 that you have placed for sell now, and I would want to enquire about the present condition of the above mentioned, as well as some detail about you. I expect this timely enough.

As for the payment, I would need you to get back in touch with the last asking price as I will be paying with a certified cheque or money order.

Lastly, please forward to me your full company's (or house address, telephone and fax) details as I will subsequently prefer reaching you through these facilities.

Yours interestingly,

Should you need to reply to me, Please get back in touch with your
details to me at:[redacted] for a quick reply.

Don't write him off yet, he might even send you a cheque for more than your 'last asking price', and have you ship half of the extra cash with the skis. Could be a good deal!
