Maria C

I so much appreciate your response to my earlier mail. I wish to let
you know that I'm satisfied with the condition. Like I said there's no
doubt I'm gonna purchase it. Therefore I want you to consider it sold
by withdrawing the advert from Craigslist. Note that you will not be
responsible for shipping and handling. My shipping company will come
to your location for pick up. Kindly provide me your name and full
address, so i can forward it to the shipping company to calculate the
cost of pick up for me. Please get back to me as soon as possible.

Mary.
