Hello,

Thanks so much for your interest in my apartment. My name is Andrew Carnegie, am happily married and am a professional construction engineer, i work with a construction company but recently plans came up for me with the help of the management board of the company, assisted my project of investing in a modern construction company which is a dream come true for me in Alaska so that's why am placing my spacious one bedroom one bathroom apartment for rent and before me and my family traveled down here in Alaska, we couldn't find a competent property agent to handle the welfare of the apartment.

Address: 855 Lincoln Way, San Francisco, CA 94122

This is a beautiful apartment and it's located in prime neighborhood of Inner Sunset close to everything with appliances including refrigerator, stove, dishwasher, washer and dryer. Utilities water, heat, cable, high speed internet Wifi, storage space and reserved parking. The rent per month is $1,500 including all utilities and $1,000 refundable damages deposit. I would like you to tell me your renting experience and how you can take very good care of the apartment, so that i can forward the rental application form to you and we can proceed further immediately to the next steps.

Awaiting Your Prompt Response.

Regards
