Default does this sound like a scam?

I got this e-mail today, for my Ecodes that i'm selling...

Thanks for the prompt response, and also for accepting the offer to sell it to me, i am set to go and heaccepts to pay the price i.e $XXX.00, Again I am particularly impressed by the prompt attention accorded the matter considering the need for us to conclude the dealing a timely manner.And i will instruct my accountant to issue the payment to you in Us cashier Cheque.
The payment that will be send to you will include the shippingcost,so all you need to do is that as soon as you receive the cheque and get it clear you are to deduct your cost and send the excess fund back to settle the shipping agent that will be coming for the pickup in your location.Let me read from you so that i can instruct my accountant to issue the payment to you.Let me have the name that will be written on the cheque and the address where to send the cheque to,your phone number is as well needed so that i can contact you as soon as the payment is on the way.
Looking forward to read
from you.
Thanks..
