RE: YOUR READINESS AND CAPABILITY BEFORE THE VIEWING

Hello,
Thanks for your reply and interest in my flat,I'd love to have you visit my apartment but due to recent inconveniences caused by wanna be tenants who I have invited for viewing and turned out to be time waster.I have decided to know your readiness and capability before inviting you for the viewing. I currently work in liverpool which is the the main reason I want to let my flat out.

I'll need to know before coming from liverpool come down London to show you the flat.Before coming down to show you the apartment.I will need to be sure of your readiness and capability i.e if you will be able to pay for month rent plus security deposit (£300+£500=£800)Therefore,I will want you to make a transfer of a month rent plus security deposit (£300+£500=£800) by going to the closest Western Union outlet that you know is more nearer with a friend or someone close to you and make the transfer as the sender and your friend as the receiver or any of your family members and you can also make them as the sender and you be the receiver so that when you arrive for the viewing and you are ok with the flat, we proceed by signing the contract/tenancy agreement form and handover the keys to you and we go to the closest Western union outlet closer to my flat to pick up the money and you pay me hand to hand as i will be ready to show you the flat and have your receipt and tenement agreement form ready as soon as i get the receipt of the transfer you made to yourself via Western union that show that you really make the transfer and it is avaiIable to be pick up by you .

I do not want you to have the feeling that I'm asking for money before you see what you are renting because I know that payment is meant to be done after you have seen the Flat and okay with it but most tenants I have invited for the viewing, is either they cannot afford the rent or security deposit that's why I want to be sure before coming down to show you the flat.This is the reason you are not doing the transfer into my account and to let you have confidence that your money is safe and secure,God forbide if anything happens to your money you can easily go to my bank to lodge complain in order to have your money back but I'm assuring you that everything is gonna be alright ok.. If you are ok with this arrangement you can let me know so that you can make the transfer with a family or close friend and once it's confirmed I will come down to show you the flat.You will need to scan the copy of the deposit slip to me as a prove And to let you know.I will want you get back to me if you are ok with this arrangement so that we can proceed.I will be looking forward to hearing from you.
When you get to the Western union you dont tell the agent that you want to make a transfer to show proof of a flat as the transfer cost will be very exorbitant when you tell the clerk that, so and you dont tell them anything when you get there and proceed to make the transfer with your friend.
Hope you understand?
Eagerly await your reply back
Kind regards,
