inshallah · Nov 12, 2005

I have had someone express in one of my names. Does
this sound ok for reply;

"Thank you for your email. Let me firstly say that I am selling
this domain to help some friends ,not myself. For one friend I
am helping to buy a special car as he is disabled in wheelchair
. My other friend lost most of their teeth through illness, so if
I sell the domain it would help. InshAllah you can please buy
domain name for £3,000 that will be greatly appreciated
so I can help my friends. Please understand this is a genuine
request and that I will transfer the name to you. "

Thanks

Doesn't sound like the usual reason for a name being valuable, it certainly wouldn't sway me to buy it.

Would put me off buying it. Even if it's true, sounds too much like some of the scam emails being sent out all the time.

Keep it simple, to the point, factual and professional. Don't mention personal stuff like friends, illnesses, religion etc. etc.

If you've got the time, ask to go and meet the disabled and toothless friends. If [1] he is indeed ill and toothless and the other can't walk [2] it's a decent name and [3] you have a lot of spare cash, I think you should pay the man.

On the other hand, it could quickly develop into a scene akin to the film, "Dirty rotten soundrels."
