This type of 'letter' immediately raises red flags for me. First, why would a legit company use Yahoo? Second, he obviously never finished high school. Third, why wouldn't his 'customer' contact you first? Forth, this so-called company has no web page. There is more, but you get the picture.
Too many red flags to bother responding to this guy.
Wonder who you would report this to in Canada? That is, if he is in Canada.

I don't know either Stan, what gets me is there is always someone who falls for it. I belong to a Goldwing group and just a month ago a guy fell for the check which was for more and he mailed the difference before the bank figured out the check was a fake. Selling over the net is a bit scary, everyone just be cautious. Goodluck,,Rick

i REFUSE to sell ANYTHING EVER unless its cold, hard, cash or paypal. it never ceases to amaze me that ppl are offended that you wont take a check. if you can write a check, you have a bank to get cash at. plain and simple.

I like what our company does. If anybody every sends you an e-mail (other than family) and you are not addressed by your first, or last name, it's not legit. I know with E-bay they will address it Mr. first name or last name, if not, it's not them. We do that a lot at work, most mail that is allowed in from outside sources has to have our name on it to filter through the filters. And trust me, there thick.

Anyway, what product this guy selling?? New turbine muffler bearing turbo?

I get emails at least a few times a week from somebody claiming to be from India, or Mexico etc. They claim that they work at a bank and I have a relative that just died and left millions of dollars in their account blah, blah, blah. They always write poorly to make it sound like they are from another country. Whatever, nothin but scams
