Good morning xxx,

I've seen your email but I couldn't respond earlier due to work. I opened your e-mail on my phone, then I saw that it required more than a "yes" or "no" reply.. I've a stressful job, you know how hard it is into hospital. I'm literally exhausted, I had such a busy day. I work 8 consecutive hours in a high stress and mentally demanding environment and two 16-hour shifts on Saturday and Sunday.

I'm little disappointed, because an unexpected problem has occurred at work and I can not leave the town.

We are a hardworking, honest family... many people make promises and tend to not follow through, but I'm here to NOT waste anyone's time. I am a very sincere, I don't have time to play games with other people.

I'm really happy that I've chosen you and I don't want to start this collaboration wrong, because I'm confident the apartment will be in good hands, you're a great person.. this is the start to an awesome landlord/tenant relationship.

I just talked to my wife and if you are really interested in moving forward, I have the best solution to complete this rental very fast for both of us and you'll have the keys in less than 48 hours.

Please accept my sincere apologies for this unexpected problem, but I'm looking forward to hearing back soon and doing business with you.

Thank you very much for your understanding!

Sincerely,

Liam

Hi xxx,

I will try explain to you step by step how this will work, so to avoid any misunderstanding, please take a few moments and read my email carefully.

The all utility bills will be redirected to me in London.
The apartment is as described, but if something will broke down after you moved, you are responsible and 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.


As I said before, the apartment is fully equipped, ready for immediate occupancy and I'll give you the opportunity to inspect personally everything... Do you think a 2 days inspection period will suffice?


This rental will be managed quickly and safely by Hemisphere Freight Logistics | a reputable company and a great team, specialists in worldwide freight services.


STEP # 1

In order to proceed, I need your shipping information:

Full name:
Address:
City:
Postal code:


STEP # 2

With your details I'll go at company's office and I'll put the package in their possession to start the process.

Hemisphere 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!
Please check out their website => Hemisphere-Freight.com


Here are the contents that will be delivered to you:

Keys to the room(s) and entrance
The residential lease agreement (signed by me)


Using the company, we'll involve three parties: I as owner, you as a potential tenant and Hemisphere as a responsible third party authorized to handle this transaction. They will acts as a middle man between us.


STEP # 3

As soon as everything is completed from my part, you'll be contacted by their team at your email address with all information.

In order to complete the transaction, your next step is to make a $800.00 deposit into Hemisphere company's account. This deposit often called an “earnest money”, to show your offer is a serious one, but I'll consider this deposit as part of the first month's rent and the rest of $400.00 will be paid when you are physically moved in to the apartment.

NOTE! They can NOT release the funds without your approval, so I'll get this deposit only if you decide to keep the apartment;

Automatically, the keys and rental contract (signed by me) are shipped to your address.... Everything will be done through Hemisphere | International Air Freight in 48 hours | Door-to-Door.
Once you've received the package, you'll have access to inspect the property, ( 2 days ).
After inspection period is done, you'll have to submit your response... If you decide to stay, you must supply them a copy of the contract signed by you and automatically the deposit will be going to my account.

NOTE! The contract will be signed and filled in after you'll check everything.

If you don't find the apartment exactly as described, you must contact the company... Their courier will come back at your door, you must return the package and you'll get the full amount back.


The company will provide assistance in handling the payment and delivery of the keys, I'll pay for the services performed by the company, there is no additional cost to you.

If you have the deposit available, we can move forward.

E-mail me your shipping information that I've requested and I'll complete the transaction asap.


Much appreciated,

Liam
