Hello,

I can see you are interested in the ad I have posted, I am currently in west Africa now with my family where we work as a volunteer with the Missionary, here is the site http://www.ywampenang.org for more details about why we are here in Africa. We spent less time in Vancouver so we could not get a hold on any Realtor to handle this rent issue, although it was when we knew how long we are going to stay in Africa that we decided to rent out the apartment. However, the initial plan was to sell out the apartment which we tried, but sometimes the agents inflates the price and it takes longer to sell. We are telling you this in case you find the house on another website, that is the old advert. So we need a tenant to take care of it, but since we are out of town, we have received some proposals regarding the rent because it is located in a very good area of Vanvouver, but we still have to make sure it is rented out to someone who can take good care of it.The keys and the document to the apartment are right here with me and I could send it to you after all necessary agreement has be accepted by my family. It includes facilities such as water and heat laundry facilities, air condition, internet and telephone access and car park and other necessary facilities, also comes with trash collection, pets are allowed as well as long as they are not destructive. We also want you to let us have trust in you as we always stand on our word. So if you know you are capable of the task,get back to me so that we can provide you with some questions that we would want you to answer.

Regards and God bless

Henry

Thanks to both of you for posting those. That shows how scammers recycle their scripts over and over, with different fake names, different email addresses, and on all kinds of sites. Having these scripts posted here will hopefully help others avoid being scammed when they do a search.
