Thanks guys for your input. As kiddo said, I too am expecting her to ask for further details like my bank account. So this the the reply I just sent her. Hello Mary, Would it be ok if you send the cheque in the name of Mr. Timothy Williams? He is a doctor and my best friend and very trustworthy. The reason I am doing this is I owe a lot of money to the bank and if they see some money in my account, they will take all the money away. I can assure you there will not be any problem because I have known him for years and he is very rich and reliable. So the detail is: Name: Mr. Timothy Williams Address: 40 Ropergate, Wakefield, WF8 1JY Phone: 07979 39 45 46 OR you can also send cash in an envelope in the above address which is my permanent address. If you do so, pls do not forget to write URGENT on the outside of the envelope. When is your daugter and the cameraman coming for the lessons? Please let me know at your earliest so that I can arrange accordingly. I rarely teach 7 hours in a row and so need to reschedule the appointment of other students. Best regards, NOW I have given her the impression that I know this "doctor"who is rich and reliable. I could also know his account details :) I will keep you updated in this Suspense Thriller when she replies.
