Hello,
Thanks for the inquiry and the interest in my puppies.
They are both male and female. The male is called Trent while the female Angela.
These puppies have been vet-checked and come with a one
year health guarantee certificate .They are very playful especially
with kids and other house hold pets .They will make wonderful
companions in your home. I am a company survey expert by profession.
We work in a survey company in Silverspring MD. and i happened to be one of
the experts that were nominated to survey a food processing company in
Silverspring MD . So with the love i have for these puppies, i had to take them
along with me as i have no body to look after them while i was gone..
When i got here , i found out that my hours of work were too many and
i don't have time to care for the puppies . So that explains why i
have to give them out for free but only to any interested person or
family. So if you are close and you want to come and pick them up let
me know so that i can give you my address. But if you are far, do not
let distance be the barrier.I am also willing to them ship to any
location since i work with this shipping lines. By so doing, all you
will have to pay for is their shipping fee to your location and
nothing more...
The lovely puppies will come along with all their necessary papers and
pets' accessories like: Vet Record, Birth Certificate, Shot Book,
Travel Crate, Toys And Foods Since i will not longer need all these
when they are gone ......

Before we proceed, i will like you to email me with answers to
the following questions so that i should know if you will rather take
good care of the puppies or not so email me with:

1) Are you a breeder?
2) Are you married?
3) Do you have kids?
4) Will you send me pictures of the puppies when you have them?
5) Will you have Enough time to spend and Play with them?
6) Were are you located?

Sorry if i did asked too many questions,but this is because i just
want to make sure that my puppies goes to the right home.

Hope to read from you soon.

God Bless You

the 302 area code is Delaware. But with a VOIP app, the person could be anywhere on earth and have that #.

The email is obviously written by an African (probably in Cameroon) who has never been in Delaware, Maryland, or anywhere else in North America.
