Need favor from someone in London (opportunity to earn $50 USD)
I'm buying two laptops from TOMAS DOMINGO at 209 HIGH ROAD , WILLESDEN.

I would wire you the money, and what i need is this: verify the components, and ship them to me in the US. I will pay $50 USD for your time

Thanks!

Well, since I'll be in london, I'll probably end up involuntary shopping. A minimum of £100 would do me and I may take one of the laptops depending on how nice it is.

I'm there on Saturday
