I'll buy that computer from you for $5,000US.
I have an agent nearby who can deliver you a money order. It's for $15,000. Would you please send the remainder along with the computer? Feel free to keep a handling fee.
Sheesh. . .

Don't worry, my postcards are real and come in the mailbox in the street; not your e-mail inbox.
