Its obviously a scam.
Don't send them any money!!!
Al.
its a scam, the cheque will show that its cleared into your account but in a few days time when the bank finds out the cheque is a fraud the money will be retracted from your account.
yep - I've had dozens of these mails from all sorts - if it mentions 'bankers cheque' of any kind - bin it.
