Thank you for your letter, to minimize my tax export payments, I would require 10% of the sum be transferred into two directions - directly to me by check and to a charity organization, which I support. I will provide the complete details for payment in the end of the letter.

<snip>

.....as I've stated before, I am sending you all items, you are interested in for your full inspection. When you receive them, please have your time to inspect them and sell and then pay me the rest of the sum, please note, if you will find out during the examination that any of the items worth less, we can work it out and agree on your new price.

<snip>

I am afraid, that I do not have any other items, which can b interesting for you. My main speciality in USA coins and stamps and also maps and antique manuscripts.

Sir, I believe that I have informed you already, that we send orders ONLY Fed Ex insured, that's why we require the prepayment - to minimize tax export fees and due to requirements of our insurance company.
More that this, Sir, when I will send the order to you, I will inform you about Fed Ex tracking number, so you will be able to control the delivery process by Internet at www.westernunion.com

10% of the price of the items (Total: USD xxxx.00)- xxx.00 USD

I would like you to make a payments to:

1. Due to insurance needs:
Please send a check for xx.00 USD please make payable to
Frederik Buwe
Collections Ltd.
Frederik Buwe Collections
Riva Vincenzo Vela 4
Lugano 6900
Switzerland

2. To minimize tax export fees:

Please send a payment of xxx.00 USD is made as a donation to an organization Foundation of economical development of countries of East Europe. The payment of xxx.00 USD is made through Western Union, Payment should be made to Prof.Oleg Chebotarev, Vice-President of Foundation of economical development of countries of East Europe. So, Western Union details are:

Oleg Chebotarev
Tverskaya, 35
Moscow, Russia
365-67-89

The Western Union payment can be made from any of its location, location finder is located at www.westernunion.com

The Western Union transfer is a bit expensive, so I suppose that you cover the Western Union fee when you will send us a check for the rest of the payment. Simply minus Western Union fee from the final sum.

Hope that this can be acceptable for you.

Please confirm and inform us when this can be possible to arrange the transaction and we will mail the parcel. I have already packed the items, you were interested in in Fed Ex package and ready to send them. I called a Fed Ex agent and got the information, that if we mail the parcel today's evening it will arrive to your location on Friday noon.

Look forward for your answer,

My warmest regards

Frederik Buwe
