Its obvious that email has been translated from chinese by something primitive (like bablefish) maybe he ran this site throug some translation program and decided that you must be a manufacturer of some sort images/smilies/biggrin.gif or that you perhaps make Top Gear?!?!

Dunno

Get a Chinese friend (if you don't have one make one temporaily) and investigate deeper. I'm pretty sure you can get away with fraud if you dig deep enough. images/smilies/wink.gif
