Scam-o-pause: the new reader may require an explanation. This scam (yes, it is a scam) works like so:
The victim is exhorted to send some amount, in this case $110, to pay the 'processing' fee on an imaginary Golden Metal Box (or whatever). There is no Golden Metal Box. The Box doesn't exist. It's not pining for the fjords. It's not even dead. It's Imaginary.
And now back to the scam:

I have sent the money you requested in a canvas bag. It is full of pennies. I had collected them over the years in a water bottle in my kitchen. I hope you don't mind if some of them are a bit green. It's just the way the copper oxidizes.
Thank you,
Vladimir Nabokov.
