The following is an example of an email that you might send
as an initial response to a doubtful inquiry about your business.
Dear Sir,
Thank you for your inquiry. Our business is a convenience
store located in Weyburn, Saskatchewan. We employ 3 full
time clerks as well as 2 more part time on the weekends.
Our gross sales last year were over $345,000.00.
If you would like to pursue the purchase of our business further,
we must ask you to identify yourself with either your own
residence information, or if you are not currently living in
Canada, that of someone who is living in Canada right now and
who knows you well. We have to make this request as
there are many conmen working on the Internet.
Your name: ________
Their full name: ________
Address, City, Province: ________
Telephone No. with AreaCode: __________
We will be phoning telephone Directory Assistance here to ensure
that you or this person is currently listed as a resident
of that Canadian city, and then we will actually phone them
for confirmation.
Thank you for your understanding,
Sincerely, (your name)
Be aware that what a conman usually does at this point - is to give
you the name, address, and phone number of another different
Canadian person that he's also currently conning - so please make
sure that you take the time to follow up and actually phone
the number and talk to the person ! (You may save someone
else from the conman).
