Good Day,
My name is Lee Moore from Netherlands.I am interested in buying your car that you want to sell for £900.It will be appreciated if the pictures of the car and its present condition can be given to me.Do not worry about the shipment,my shippers will be taking care of the shipment.The payment will be make by UK cheque that will be send by my client.
I will want you to give me your full name,physical address and phone numbers,so that the cheque of £4,000 can be issue for you by my client.As soon as you received the cheque and it clear in your account,I will want you to send the balance of £3,100 to the shipping company that will come for the shipment,so that they can be able to ship the car as fast as possible.
I am looking forward to your response.
My Best Regards

Why not just take cash the cheque?
If it clears then he can do what he likes with the car, if not your still at same place you are right now.
