Subject: place for rent; I'm extremely interested.

Hello,
Just saw your ad and would be disposed to renting from you.
I was born in and raised in the UK 26 yrs ago. I'm a matured,
Vivacious, career driven individual, I don't smoke and drink on very
sparse occasions (probably won't even consume up to 5 liters in year)
which might be buoyed something very special like a job promotion or
maybe a best friend’s wedding (lol).
I am also not opinionated and will never condemn anyone for their
sexual, religious inclinations or what so ever primordial variables. I
think the day we perceive ourselves beyond such clouts, there would be
world peace and visceral love.
I plan on staying for at least 3 years minimum because my
work contract is for two years and I will be working for Ad store consumer
electronics as a Data Base Administrator.
So I should be able to sign a year contract if there is
need for it.
Kindly respond as soon as possible
Have a spectacular day!
Wiley

And...

Hello,
I am happy you responded to my email and I look forward to coming over
to Canada from the UK by March 15 but I can be flexible to your plans.
My employer will be sending you payment for the first month and damage deposit
Also my shipper will be shipping my Honda 2009 model and other
Personal effects before I move into your place. I won’t be bringing much
over as I intend to buy most afresh there. But my PC will be coming
with me surely & other personal belongings. If this is ok with you,
kindly mail me back your name to make out the payment in & your
address to have it sent to. I will call your number so we can
talk.
I will be off to see my sick mum in the hospital who is due for surgery soon.
In case you want to get to me my number is +447031869281 and skype i.d
zagatzagat101
I look forward to your response.
Yours Sincerely
Wiley

I just received the first email, word for word but Wiley has changed the last name to Donovan. The email address has also been changed to [email protected]. I can't wait to tell him off. lol. I'm glad I decided to do a search on his companies name which brought me to this site! Thanks Raised Eyebrow!

I also recieved the same email. Additional information, he has listed his employer as Expert Electronics Ltd and his address at 1 Bath Str, London. Additional numbers are +447011130811 and number he calls from 1-819-174-3658. His poor sick mum is still having surgery!

I just recieved another email...this is kinda fun now. Have to see how long I can string him along! I sent a message to my local police but have not heard back.
This is the latest email I recieved.
Hello ,
The unimaginable thing I feared most has happened to me.My mother
passed away in the early hours of today. I am the most distraught
person on planet
earth but there is need for me to gather mental, physical and spiritual
strength at this trying moment.
My mother is the catalyst behind all my present achievements and I
have been 500% dependent on her for more future support. Why did she
have to go? Arrangements are being made and she will be laid to rest
next Sunday.
I told my employer about the news and he has given his condolences.
He made a mistake of sending Finley's(shipper) money along with your payment
to your address,instead of sending it separately.What do we do about
that? Please advise.
Wiley
PS:I made a mistake with the intial tracking please this is the
correct one below;
