Evan,
in the next e-mail he'll tell you about his biz partner in the US who 
owes him money. He'll offer to send you a cashier's cheque for much more 
than the asking price. He'll also tell you that he "trusts you" and will 
request that you take what is needed for the car and the shipping and 
refund him the difference via Western Union. You'll get stuck with a 
forgered cheque, and he'll enjy the Nigerian sun downing drinks bought 
with your cash.
