 ..... Why not e-mail him/her back and say you have been looking to go on a religious mission and if he/she would give you this opportunity than he could have the laptop for free as a donation to his ministries. Tell him you could be ready to travel in a month and would be happy to bring your laptop to him when you meet.

| Any email that refers to the thing for sale as "your item" or something else that's vague is a scam. They do that and spam it out to hundreds of listings.
