My guess would be: "Sometimes, our outside reading materials do not match up with what we learn in class. I know that our class lectures and notes should be synthesized with the reading materials, but that is difficult when they conflict with each other."

If that's not it, then I really have no idea.

After reading the article, and differs from class notes. We are the same and different readings even better, we understand you need to understand the class notes.

I'm not certain, but I believe he/she accidentally sent you a check for more than your asking price and wants you to cash the check and send them back the difference. Seems legit to me.

The interesting thing about India and the US is that we are both former British colonies. So... some phrases were "part of colloquial English language in seventeenth century Britain and America"
