We are traveling from our Dallas home to our new apartment as soon as possible.On Paying for the artworks,I will be glad to pay you with a Money Order or Cashier`s check in US funds that can be easily cashed at your local bank,please let me know on how to proceed for the payment of the creative artworks.

I will await your advise on how to proceed.Have a wonderful day.

This is what I would have liked to write back:

Hi there,

I see you are currently out of Nigeria and not in Dallas as stated. Plus it is a LONG way between Nigeria and South Africa. Yes, there is a wonderful tracking device on my website that was put in place for people just like you.

I hope you do not mind but I have a have a three month hold on United States Money orders. I will not ship before then. Since you can easily travel from Dallas, to Nigeria, and South Africa so easily and quickly, why don't you just pop in to St. Louis and pay me in cold hard cash and I will gladly sell you my art work that I have worked very hard to create.

Sincerely

Sharon
