Jerry,
It has come to our attention that the check sent to us is a fraudulent document. If your
computer systems are en route for delivery, please understand that we will not be doing
any work until payment has been received. You may attempt to pay us one more time within
the next 24 hours using Paypal. If we do not receive payment by then, this transaction
will be considered null and void. Should your computer systems arrive at any point
thereafter, they will be returned to you as well. Our attorneys have advised us that we
should not pursue further business with you at this time, as our involvement in any
unethical business transaction would make us liable. Thank you for your understanding and
have a nice day.
