Are you nuts ?   I read your previous posting and order form.  Do you
really think it is legal for you to provide people with copies of
commercial software on either an "original receipt" which will probably
not specify exactly what they bought or on a signature that could belong
to someone not of legal age or to a fictitious person ?

I certainly hope you discussed this attorney because I have a feeling
you are going to need one.

And what they heck are Kickstart, Workbench, Extras, Textcraft Pluss,
C, and Pascal doing on your list ????   Those disks are not copy
protected and anyone with a legitimately purchased copy can make their
own archival backup with the Amiga Diskcopy command.  I see no reason for
such software to even appear on your list unless you are what you appear
to be - software pirates.

Yes - and I bet you'll make a copy for your personal archive at the same time.

I strongly suggest that you return any money and disks that are sent to
you with a note that you are sorry, but you cannot perform the service
that you advertised.  It might make it easier on you when you get sued.
