the price for the products because I need the order for these Standing Light

freight company that will sip to me .I will look forward hearing from you as
soon as possible with the price for the Standing Light.

Thank youveymuch...
SincereYours,
Mr. James
Let's see. Quirky capitalization, a nebulous request for "products" that are sometimes called "Standing Light," and they will "lie to use [their] credit car". Not to mention a freight company that will "sip" to them, the quirky line breaks, or the peculiar valediction "SincereYours".

Seriously? People respond to this?
