Thanks for your reply and assistance so far.
I am glad to tell you that we have concluded payment with the delegates. However, a cashier check of $5,800 was earlier made out by the Christian organization, for a hotel whose services were not up to the standard of what your hotel is offering to us now. Which was meant for the accommodation, provision for car hiring and other necessary arrangement .
After much delibration , they have instructed that I send you the cashier check , which will cover the cost of the 5 persons for the seven(7) nights and all other arrangements that will makes this stay comfortable..
PAYMENT STATUS FOR THE SEVEN NIGHTS; $400 X 7NIGHTS= $2,800 USD
Attn; When you received the cashier check of ($5,800 usd) you are required to deduct the rent for the nights($2,800 usd) and send the balance $3,000 usd via moenygram international money transfer to the car hiring company whose information will forwarded to you as soon as possible
Note: The four man committee is making arrangement with some of the car hire AGENTS as soon as they are ready with one they will forward to me all his or her information.

I am guessing this is farudulent. I will certainly come back to this site, if it turns out to be a "real" booking.
