Hello,
Do you still have it available?and why do you put it for sale?

Mr. James,

The item you reference is indeed still for sale. This computer system is newly built, within the past week. It is for sale because my company, KBA4 PC Repair builds and repairs computer systems :)

I would be happy to personally deliver this system to you, within reason, or you may opt to pick it up yourself. Just give me your address and have the money available at time of sale and the computer system is yours. And, if you should need computer service in the future (upgrade this system?) you'll know where to find me.

Paul,

You may make the check out to:

The item is in excellent condition, as I said it was built earlier in the week and has only been used a few times once the main test of installing XP and all updates, as well as drivers for the mobo and devices. I left it on over the course of 48 hours through all this and have rebooted it with no problems. Typically any problems will arise within the first few days of use from my experience. Anyway enclosed are some higher resolution images for you. I would prefer to do business on Monday if that's OK, and you can either come pick the computer system up or as I said I can deliver it to you as long as you're not really far away. If you have any more questions or anything at all, feel free to e-mail me or call me.

Mr. James,

I am writing to inform you that the check I received was verified by my bank, Chase NA, to be fraudulent. I went into the bank personally to cash it and was informed of the state of your check at that time. They are keeping it for their records and will be opening an investigation into the matter for their concerns.

As far as our business transaction is concerned, you may attempt to pay one more time either with cash or Paypal to e-mail kba004@gmail.com. If you do not respond within 24 hours I will consider this transaction closed and void. Unless a legal dispute is pursued by my bank and I become a witness, etc., this will be the final correspondence you receive from KBA4 PC Repair concerning this matter.

Please understand, Mr. James, that because there was no harm to me or my business, I will not involve my attorneys in any way at this time. Be forewarned, however, that fraud is a crime and you may be held accountable by my bank and the Issuer of the check you sent me.
