Name: Phillips Adams
Email: ph.adams12@yahoo.com
Message: Hello, My name is Phillips Adams, I am an individual art agent and interior decorator from Glasgow, Scotland.I got an order for the supply of some artworks from a client, and when i came across your portfolio while searching for good artworks, I found some of them to fit what i am looking for and great for walls, My client would like to make payment to you by credit card at the price i am selling and i will expect you to ship and send me my commission/margin afterwards.I am looking forward to a long term working relationship. Please let me know if you do commission work and if you accept credit card payment before we place orders ,and if you have questions please feel free to contact me on ph.adams12@yahoo.com.

Ah yes, "Phillips". Glad you're posting this stuff on your blog. Very smart to get the word out. I, too, have had a bunch of these...
