Thanks for your response and interest in my house.

The house is very much available and it is a (large 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom house, Refrigerator-Microwave-Oven-Gas-Dishwasher). Which was formally occupied by me and my family before we left for Nigeria for a pastoral duty, we left for a volunteer mission together with other missionaries for a development program with the aim of developing the people of west Africa physically and spiritually as God as directed us. We wanted to sell the house initially but we later changed our mind after we discovered that we wouldn't be spending more then 5 years here in Africa.

So as you know where the house is located at: (250 Central Avenue #3, Jersey City NJ 07307) Which my family and I have spent so much time and money to maintain it up till its standard. We have been trying our best to make the house as clean as possible, because am a clean person and we don't like dirt around our surroundings and also the Bible says cleanliness is next to Godliness.

So we are looking for a well-behaved, clean and honest tenant to rent out our house too. So will like you to give us your word and promise us that you will take good care of our house so that we will be happy when we come to visit you in the future.. We accept short or long-term rent and it's month by month.. All the utilities are included in the rent.. Pets are allowed. So kindly get back to us with this information below.

Note: the Rent is $500 and security deposit is $300
Total Move In Cost:$800

This person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union or MoneyGram with a promise that he will send the keys through a courier company.

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 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.

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.

How are you doing today? Hope great, We went through your application and Most especially your mail, You gave us an inner peace of Mind that really got us going. Our tenant is our new family,we will always put your in our prayers,we hope you do same also to us.This is a little piece of what i preached in the church today,i hope you don't mind me sending them to you.But if you don't like it that much,i promise not to be a disturbance to you.

To sustain the Life we do not really require much.It takes only a little food,something to wear and a place to" lie down".The rich might have an abundance of this things,and the poor may have to struggle to obtain what they need.What difference there is,however,is equalized when life comes to its end-everything comes to naught.(Eccl.9:5,6).

Thus Life to have meaning and worth,it cannot and should not simply consist of things that one can acquire or possess.Whether we are rich or poor,we do not have complete control over how long we may live or whether we will even be alive tomorrow.The bible clear shows that Only God alone is the source of life and only he can grant faithful ones the real life or everlasting life without end in Heaven.

You are just an accurate example of the fulfillment of psalm 23..which God has promised to make you lie down in grassy pastures and he further says By well watered resting places He shall conduct you, verse 6 says surely Goodness and mercy shall follow you all the days of your life; And you will dwell in the house of the lord forever and ever.

Based on your move in date .We are okay with that.We want to rent our home and would have Loved to rent to you if we do work out things together. we are considering renting to you. We will be very busy with the work of the lord and will Like to conclude the rental process soon.We intend Mailing the package down to the address you provided to us,

May the Lord's Blessings continue to be on you. I want to make sure you move in to our home at your desired move in date.the security Deposit will enable us secure the home for you and mail out the package which will take 48 hours to get to you. We are responsible for utilities including water gas and electricity.

Just as you know we are missionaries, we live on donations and so cost of running around and mailing is a burden to us.You should note that the security deposit is 100% refundable upon request.

I still have to stress the fact the money is not the problem but rather the problem is that you need to adequately take care of my property...for Gods word admonishes us in Mathew 16:26 "for what shall it benefit a man if he gains the whole world but forfeits his soul? or what will a man give in exchange for his soul.As soon as we confirm the deposit I WILL IMMEDIATELY move forward to mail out the package to you I will wait to read from you as soon as you get my email.


Thank you once again we do appreciate you a lot.


Remain Blessed.
