Hi,

Susan Moore here, I and my Husband - Curtis Moore are Owner of University
Books and Library Inc.

We are asked to supply religious oil paintings at subsidized amount to
Catholic Universities in your Area by one of the leading Vacation Rental
Company known as Erika James Vacation Rentals -
www.erikajamesvacationrentals.com.

I need a good framer, so I decide to contact you to partner in this
project. We want to avoid damage or additional shipping cost instead of
framing the paintings from here.

We are working on 6 different sample paintings, 20 Paintings per each
sample at Size 12 x 16 each. Please what is the cost for framing 20
paintings multiplied by 6 Samples altogether 120 Paintings. Please advise
on way forward.


Sample 1 - Size 16 x 20 = 20 Paintings + Framing

Sample 2 - Size 16 x 20 = 20 Paintings + Framing

Sample 3 - Size 16 x 20 = 20 Paintings + Framing

Sample 4 - Size 16 x 20 = 20 Paintings + Framing

Sample 5 - Size 16 x 20 = 20 Paintings + Framing

Sample 6 - Size 16 x 20 = 20 Paintings + Framing

And you know some poor sap of a framer is going to fall for this - hook, line and stinker.
