Dear Sir,
we have an interest to purchase your domain HEATINGPAD.BIZ and usually offer between 50% and 65% of the appraised value.
We accept appraisals from companies such as
http://www.se do.com/
http://max-appraisal.com/
http://topnameappraisals.com/
If you already have an appraisal please forward it to us.
Please let us know whether you are interested. Upon review of your valuation and in case of an agreement we send payments via PayPal for amounts less than $2,000 and via Escrow.com for amounts above $2,000, as well as further instructions on how to complete the transfer of the domain name.
Thank you,
Domain Trade LLC
Note that Sedo and Escrow.com are not affiliated with the scam.
