Welcome back to the new NEFF. Take a break from Twitter and Facebook. You don't go to Dicks for your fly fishing gear, you go to your local fly fishing store. Enjoy!

Dear Mr Curd,
Thank you for you inquiry for the assortment of large arbor cassette spools and reels. Our shipping facility is fully stocked in the Orvis Clearwater spools and reels that you have noted. Our company also carries a wide arrange of quality manufactured products that can attach to the reel seat of any fly rod. Our company’s mission statement is, if you can conceive attaching a reel foot to it, we can make it happen. Just to us as an example; we had one client who requested if we can produce a way attach an air conditioner to the real seat of his 3 weight. He explained in his request that he would be fishing for Chinooks in the Death Valley area. He needed a way to stay cool while fishing without carrying an excessive amount of gear. We sent the request to our engineering department. They calculated the average heat index in the area and suggested a 4000 BTU unit would be suffice. We partnered with an air conditioner manufacture whose name we can not divulge due to HIPPA laws. They suggested a unit that they produce that would do the job. The unit comes with a 20 hour ion lithium battery pack comparable to the batteries used in the electric car industry. It added a few extra pounds to the 3 weight but that is cost of staying cool in the desert and from what I understood he great trip.
We selected you to be our first retail partner in this ground braking innovation in fly fishing. We need to get our product line out to the public. Mr Curd we feel that with your eloquently written request. You are the man to do it. We can attach anything from cow bells to missile launchers to the real seat of any fly rod.
I see that you live in the state of taxes. Our company also presides in the state of taxes ( but don't we all ,no pun intended ) so shipping should not be an issue.
Sincerely yours.

Hi Dick,
We carry the Dark Water series in the sizes you are looking for , they are of course half price.I am not the owner but I fish with him 2x a year in April.
2/4 - $200 div by 2 = $100 (your price) since you want 2 it'll be only $200 that's $100 x 2.
I'll even throw in the shipping cost if you can help me with the IRS.
Thanks for the order.

This letter is very similar to the type of correspondence in a very funny book called Letters From a Nut, written by Ted L. Nancy (who is really comic Barry Marder).
Things like randomly just asking "are you the owner" and "I am waiting for your response" are trademarks of the writing style in the letters from that book. The letters are written to purposely be strange, and there are a lot of back and forth exchanges that get increasingly bizarre.
Perhaps this Robert Curd is a Ted L. Nancy wannabe (and how sad would that be).

Actually, a quick Google search reveals that, Robert Kurd is a (failed?) teacher who became a politician in Amherst County VA.
Applies for vacated seat:

I have had this happen twice at the drive thru......one of the managers actually though about trying to fill the order.....I laughed at her for days....
The scammers were from Africa, and it went exactly the same except they wanted 250 Big Mac's for pick-up by a delivery company, they would send us money, and we were to pay the delivery company with a credit card. There are some really stooopid people out there if this has worked...
Mac, how many reels did you sell them?????

How is this a scam?
The guy wants a large arbor reel.
Who doesn't?

I actually own that book and it inspired me to send out a few of my own letters but from a real nut!
