What suprised me was the total disregard for coherence that most of the Nigerian scammers usually aim for these days, my reply went as follows

Ooh, a certified check(sic), eh? And from Jim Beam, no less.

A friend of mine was advertising his car on the net, and he got the same offer. It provided us with much mirth and amusement for a while

You should have written to him explaining how the cruel and intolerant Irish government who took over your country in 1922 insist on taking money from your paypacket every week and if he sends you lots of money you will tell him how to get the Irish government to buy him a car. And a house in Longford...

Okay, This Is what I sent him:

Subject: Your offer to do Buisness

Dear Mister Sir
I find it quite honourable that you would like to do a transaction with me. My Lexus LS430 is only a single year in existance and has had only an single possessor who was a female of good character. The current condition of the car is very facinating with many special features. I am selling the car cheeply ( $20,000) because the political situation in our country requires me to leave on the threat of violence from the IRA who are very dangerous people who beat people with pointy sticks if the look at them in an unusual manner. My brother who was an important man in the Northern irish republic caused a discarce to himself in the angry eyes of the IRA , it is for that reason we must leave quickly for Morroco and safety from the pointy sticked ones. I would be quite open to a check as long as it was prooved certified or a bank transfer. hoever it must be done very quickly as I am a desperate man

Please reply Post Haste

You neglected to mention whether the single female possessor of the car was good in bed. That's the sort of detail I'd need if I was purchasing a second hand automobile.

Wow! What a coincidence! I seem to run into that guy in town every single time I have a few pints on me.

Don't know m8, the good James may have been a good honest customer with lots of dosh in a Swiss bank. On the other hand he does sound a bit like a Nigerian Liam Lawlor.
Suggest you report the matter to the Garda in Donegal. They'll come up with something on him.
