Hello

I have received this email to assist a friend ...
I am not up to date with these technicalities and any
information would be appreciated.
Thank you
faddi

Hi Faddi
I'm Joe's friend GUS, you might remember me.
Anyway , Joe said you might be the man to talk to. I recently sold a Rolex to a man in the US, sent with Fed Ex. Then I get a letter from US Customs saying they have confiscated it, and they require a letter from Rolex USA to release it to the buyer.
Is this normal because I sent a Rolex 4 weeks ago to the USA and with no problems?
I have contacted Rolex's lawyers in New York and am waiting for a reply, have I done anything Illegal ?
Would appreciate any info.

Regards
GUS
