Hello xxx,

I've got an update for you, my husband just told me that he has contacted a store manager that would take care of the shopping of grocery items and home appliances I initially said you will help us with. The store manager will order the groceries, food stuffs, and home appliances for us from the store so you don't have to worry yourself much about the items again, this will ease your stress. So all you will have to do now when you receive the Check is to take it to your bank and Deposit it in your account. The funds will be available in your account for withdrawal within 24 hours.

Once the check clears and the funds are available in your account, you will deduct your pay in advance as a sign of commitment on our own part and please you will send the remaining of the funds to the store manager which will be for the payment of the items ordered for us. The keys to the house will be sent to you as soon as the cleaners and interior decorators are through with their works. I will keep you posted.

I hope this won't be a problem for you to do for us and I believe you are a honest person so I trust you to take care of this perfectly. Please I'm so sorry about the changes, My husband has the final say and that is what he has just made me understand.

I so much count on you and do hope you can understand and take care of this.

Hoping to read back from you soon.

Regards.

This scammer will send you a fake check. Have you deposit it and send the over payment to a third person. Later your bank will notify you of fake check and you will have to re-pay the bank for your withdrawal.
