I was selling an electronic item for $250 and received this email and I know it's a scam but I'm not sure what exactly is going on here, maybe someone is familiar with this one?

>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Thanks for your e-mail,So glad to hear that the said items are still for sale,i want you to know one thing that the Mode of payment is going to be Certified Cashier's Checks that will be drawn from an American.So there will be no problem in Cashing the Checks.Also i want you to know that you will be recieving a Cashier's Check of $4,000 that will sent to you one of my Client over there in the USA who is owing me thisamount. So all i want you to do now is to recieve theCheck , After then i will expect you to Cash it Immdiately at the Cashing Store. After the Check has been cashed i want you to Transfer the remaining excess funds to my Personal Assistant who will now Pay the Shipping Company to come over for the Pick up (Iwil handle the Shipping so Shipping Should not any Problem)

Also after the Funds has been cashed and you have transfered to my Personal Assitant the excess funds,All you need to do is to wait for the Shipping Company to come over for the Pick up, You will be notify on the Day they will arrive so that you will around for them toPick up the Item. Also funds should be Transfered to my Personal Assistant via Western Union. The Western Union and the Cashing Store Charges should be deducted from the excess funds you are sending my Personal Assistant.

I am Compesating you with the Sun of $100 for the little stress you will be going through in the transaction, his now make your total income to be $350. So If this is Okay by you i want you to provide me with the Following Informations Which of course i will forward to my Client so that Payment will be Issued :
