Let me start by saying how much I appreciate your interest!
Please check your attached file, I attached a few pictures of the
apartment, just so you can have a better idea of what it looks like.
I'm not really concerned with the money for rent and I'm not
looking to make a business or a profit with it, I just want to find
the proper tenant, someone responsible, dedicated, committed and
trustworthy persons that can take very good care of the apartment,
like it
was his home.
I'm the owner and my name is Frank Jenkins, I love this place, it
means a lot to me. It has been professionally finished and decorated
with a modern color scheme that coordinates throughout.. it looks
exactly like in the pictures, totally finished, fully furnished and I
have the option of sending all my furniture into storage if you want
to bring your own, no extra costs!
The apartment has all the facilities and the utilities: washing
machine, dishwasher, dryer, refrigerator, stove, oven, juice machine,
iron, toaster, coffee maker, microwave, vacuum cleaner, stainless
steel, everything you need!
The lease is flexible, for short term and long term, can be month to
month, min stay 3 month - max 10 years. The rent for one month is
$750.00. The rent/price will not increase monthly, it will remain the
same for the whole period that the contract will be signed for.
The all utilities are included in this price (rent/month). No extra
fees! It means: water, cable, gas, electricity, Internet, parking and
washer/dryer in the apartment.
About pets... there's no problem if you have pets, as long as you
clean up after them!
I want this rental to be as smooth as possible, I really need to take
care of this matter asap.. let me know if you are really interested,
so that I can send all the details, including application form, too.
I think this is a good opportunity, don't miss out my apartment!
Regards,
Frank

Yes Michelle
I can give you the opportunity to inspect the apartment in the next few days or at the convenient time for you and you can move there later, but you have to secure it tomorrow, ( $750.00 ), and the lease will start from the date when you move in the apartment.
I will try explain to you step by step how this will work, take a few moments and read my email carefully!
* The all utility bills will be redirected to me in London.
* As I said before, the apartment is as described, but if something will broke down after you moved, you are responsible, but the cost of repairs will be deducted from your rent.
* I would like to receive the money monthly into my bank account and I hope there will be no problem for you to wire the money to it.
Do you think a 2 days inspection period will suffice?
The apartment is ready, you just need to receive the keys to check it, and see if you can accept it. This rental will be managed by Forward Freight Services | International Freight Forwarders.
Step # 1
In order to proceed, I need your shipping information:
First name:
Last name:
Address:
City:
Postal code:
Step # 2
With the information you'll provide, I'll go at Forward Freight office in the next hours and I'll leave the keys and the contract in their possession to start the process. They will acts as a middle man between us.
The shipping will be done through Forward Freight - International Air Freight in 48 hours | door to door.
Forward Freight is a worldwide delivery company, a full service international freight forwarder, specializing in shipping commercial cargo from and to United Kingdom by air and by ocean, (door-to-door service).
I used this company many times and find they are helpful, polite, efficient and on time. I never had a problem! For more information, please checkout their website. www.ForwardFreightServices.com
Here are the contents that will be delivered to you:
* Entrance and the rooms keys;
* Paper/permanent property form (Containing your reference details);
* The apartment documented file;
* Payment receipts;
* Address and description of the apartment.
Of course, we will need some way to go through this agreement, to allow us ensure that we get what we are expecting, because you can't send me the money directly and I must have a warranty to send you the keys.
Step # 3
* The tenant must pay the first month of rent into the Forward Freight company's account;
* They can proceed with the shipping and you'll receive the keys and the contract signed by me at your door in 48 hours;
* The agent will bring the keys in front of your door and then you have 2 days to go and see the apartment. After the inspection period you must give them an answer.
* In case you'll take it, you'll have to supply them a copy of the contract signed by you and the deposit will be going directly to my account. The contract will be signed and filled in after you will check the apartment;
* If you don`t find it exactly as described, they will refund your money and the keys back to me. NOTE*** I'll get the deposit only if you decide to keep the apartment;
* Forward Freight will provide assistance in handling the payment and delivery of the keys, I'll pay for the services performed by the company, so there will not be any additional cost to you.
As soon as the package is in their custody, they will contact you with the all information, so I'll await your quick response and I'll complete the transaction asap.
Best Regards,
Frank & family
This person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union, MoneyGram, pre-paid credit card or bank transfer with a promise that you can have the keys to a property that does not belong to him.
Sounds safe. It's not!
At other times, he will ask for proof that you are able to pay the deposit and rent due to a string of time wasters.
This proof is in the form of a Western Union or MoneyGram payment to a lawyer,a friend or family member.
In either case, if payment is made and you give this person the details, they will collect the money.
You will not hear from them again.
All the details such as names, addresses, pictures etc. that the scammer uses in order to back up his story, are stolen from elsewhere.
If you are reading this because you are looking for property to rent, and you are in contact with this thief you are probably searching Craigslist, Gumtree or similar listing sites. If you receive any requests from 'Landlords' asking for some kind of payment before viewing, then it will also be a scam. Please forward the mail to me at the address in my signature line and I will investigate and list them if necessary.
