Hello there <removed>,
Thanks for your email and I hope you are having a great day?I'm delighted to know you are available to coach my daughter with her VB lessons,We live in England(Kent),I'm into Real estate and construction work here,My daughter Tiffanie will be relocating temporarily to my sister's house less than a week from this date and I'm hoping the lessons can be held privately at my sister's home gym but if Tiffanie has to meet with you then I guess it's Okay still,My husband and I think your hourly rates are reasonable enough and we are hoping to work out an arrangement here.What we really want for Tiffanie is just general brush-up and tips in any areas she might have difficulties with in the sport and Tiffanie has had a few VB lessons here in England but nothing too concrete I must say so I guess you will be taking her partly as a beginner too.Tiffanie will be coming along with her sport shoes and gear but you can also go ahead and bring any that you think will be helpful too,I would like the lessons to hold two times a week for 1hr each day of the lessons for a total duration of five weeks in all,how much would that total to <removed>?Thanks again for your email,do get back to me on this and we can proceed on arrangements then.Also what city are you located?
Regards,
Dawn.
The check will either be stolen or forged. If the check is deposited you will be responsible for the full amount once the fraud is discovered by your bank.
It is always a scam if someone wants you to receive a payment and them wire part on the money to a third party.
Hello again <removed>,
I'm delighted to know we are in agreement here and I'm happy to know you are able to coach Tiffanie with her VB lessons.What we really want for her is just a general improvement with her playing skills and in any areas she might have difficulties with.Tiffanie will be coming along with her sport shoes and gear but you can go ahead and bring any that you think will be helpful. I spoke to my husband about your rates and at this point,I'm most delighted to say we have a deal!
I want you to know that my husband and I had initially hired a private VB coach for Tiffanie and he was supposed to coach her for two months which we already paid him upfront for but just before we concluded on lesson days and time,he lost his wife and decided to quit teaching and take proper care of his family but he has long agreed to have my money sent to any alternative coach who'll be handling Tiffanie with her lessons.Now I could have had my sister receive the funds on my behalf and pay you daily or weekly as the case may be but the thing is,My sister at this time is 6 months pregnant with her first child and I don't think her husband will appreciate me giving her any extra activities if you know what I mean.But what I could do,Is instruct to have the funds issued and sent out to your location but I'll need you to have your costs for Tiffanie's lessons as agreed at ($420) deducted from the funds received which totals $1,750 then have what's left sent out via Money Gram to Tiffanie's travel agent as the funds will be used in securing her flight tickets/BTA and travel documents as this is highly required upon her arrival at the American airport according to the American Immigration rules as applicable to an international student.
If this works with you <removed>,I'll need you to provide me with your full name as to be written on the payment,your contact address(where the payment will be sent to and your phone number and I'll instruct to have the payment issued and sent out to your location asap.
Truthfully <removed>,I must say Tiffanie is excited about meeting you as she has been telling her friends over the phone about her new VB coach in the states! Ok then have a great one and I'll wait to read from you and I can make relevant arrangements then.Also anytime or day of the week that suits you best for lessons works just fine with us as Tiffanie's schedule for now is fully open.
Regards,
Dawn
