Thanks a lot for the email. I am away at sea at the moment,i work with New Zealand Oil and Gas (NZOG) and we are presently offshore in New Zealand Taranaki Basin on kapo project. We do not have access to phone at the moment,its 5days off and 25days on,which is why I contacted you with internet messaging facility. Where is it located at the moment?
I am buying it for my for my son and i want it delivered to him i will arrange for courier service that will come for the collection.I won\'t be able to come for the inspection due to the nature of my work and i would have called but our calling is restricted.Regarding the payment,pls get back to me with your final asking price and your PayPal details so i can process the payment,you can alternatively send your sort code, account name and acct number if you have no PayPal acct.I have also contacted my courier who will come for pick up after the whole fund has been cleared into your acct.
Await your reply.
I got a bit worried so I checked the name New Zealand Oil and Gas (NZOG)and got this site
so people I hope this helps you all be safe
