Hello,
How you doing?
My name is Mrs Faith, i am from Ca. I read your description on criagslist.org and am interested in your services, I just brought some computers and they are laptops, ..i want you to Install software such as :

Microsoft Office and Antivirus,
Clean inner & outer computer components,
Update software to current status,
Get back to me with your total cost for the services of eight computer excluding the shipping cost because i have a local shipper that will come with the computers and the necessary Softwares to you.
I await your urgent response so that i can put the arrangement in order

Thanks
Best Regards
Miss Faith




the name is throwing me off. as far as the work goes this seems easy enough. if its a pc i know how to crack almost all of them open so cleaning is easy. I spend most my time at work sitting on my ass so i could do all 8 probobly in 2 days. the laptops may be a diffrent story. Id have to see them. as far as loading software it would take the better half of an afternoon depending on the speed of the computers. anyone heard of a scam like this or does it sound like someone actually asking for help?

Could be her first name. In some demographics women refer to themselves as "Miss Firstname".
