Anatomy of a scam

I received this email from what I believe to be a confidence man. A scammer. He has a secretary who writes checks and a mover who scours the countryside for treasures and he wants used furniture?

"Hello,
Thanks very much for getting back to me ,I will like to tell you that
the payment would be sent by UPS courier company and the item will be
picked up as soon as you receive my payment,I will wait for the
payment to get cashed before i'd send my mover for the pick up.I
will like to tell you that i would be sending a check worth of $3850
covering the shipment of the item. and the money for the item should
be $385.As soon as certified check reaches you,have it cashed and
remove your money for the item and send the remaining fund to my
mover by western union money transfer.My shipper is also picking
some of my other items up for me in the same city of yours, so that is
why i need to give him that amount.I will like you to remove $100 for
your running around in getting the check cashed...pls let me know if i
can trust you on this..Regards"
