Hello!

I'm a broker of an investor from Churchill (Canada). He wants to buy percussion.co.

My client has $527,000 budget for 40-50 domains. Please specify your asking price in the subject of your message.

Our company is in a web hosting business. We also provide brokerage services for domain buyers.

If you have other domains please email me the list with prices. I may offer your domains for sale to my clients.

How can we transfer money to you (escrow, wire, Paypal or Western Union)?

Best Regards,

M... Z....

SPAM.

Don't send anything to a Broker. Broker do not have money as they are broke.

Spam. Gotta love it. Gives you something in your inbox to delete on those otherwise slower days.
