My name is clement Dave from Los Angeles. I have been on the lookout for some artworks lately in regards to I and my wife's anniversary which is just around the corner. I stormed on some of your works which i found quite impressive and intriguing. I must admit your doing quite an impressive job. You are undoubtedly good at what you do. 
With that being said, I would like to purchase one of your works as a surprise gift to my wife in honor of our upcoming wedding anniversary. It would be of help if you could send some pictures of your piece of works, with their respective prices and sizes, which are ready for immediate (or close to immediate) sales. My budget for this is within the price range of $500 to $4000.
I look forward to reading from you in a view to knowing more about your pieces of inventory. As a matter of importance, I would also like to know if you accept check as a means of payment.

    Hi Lenny, I just got an email like the one you have posted on your blog. In fact I think it's exactly the same email except for the sender.

    Did you ever find out anything else about who and why the person sent that email to you?
    Thanks.

    I received the same email a couple of days ago. Wording made it seem suspicious. Mine is also the same except for sender. So enraging with so many artists trying so hard to make it...
