here's the one I got after emailing a guy about a skoda on the autotrader.co.uk:

Hello,

Thank you for your e-mail and being interested in my car because i really need to sell it ASAP !

First of all i would like to let you know why i am selling my car so cheap: one mounth ago i moved in Spain because of my job and now i live here with all my familly. The car has the steering wheel on the right side and nobody wants to buy it in Spain because all the cars has the steering wheel on left side here, so i need to sell it to Ireland because the car is still registered in Ireland and it's very easy to transfer the registration onto your name, without pay any import taxes or other taxes. Also i need money to buy another car certified in Spain with the steering wheel on left side so i can drive it here, really is not so easy to drive a car with the steering wheel on right side here.

Some words about the car:
Immaculate car with loads of extra's, 55mpg, Full skoda service history with receipts, 6 months Skoda warranty remaining. Elegance model with Air con, Dual climate control, 17" alloys, Spoiler, Twin exhaust, Traction control, Center armrest etc etc.

The price is 6,000.00 Euro including all the shipping taxes and inssurance to Ireland, the car will be shipped by AIR and will arrive within 7 days after the downpayment has been made.

Now if you understood me and you are really interested to buy my car, i am waiting your e-mail with your decision and i will provide you with the informations about shipping/payment method.

Best Regards !

When those scammers learn how to write 'proper' we will all have to watch out!
