Hello,
Thanks for your interest in the rent and sorry for my late response.I am very happy that you contacted me regarding my 2 Bedroom condo.I and my family stayed in this condo when we were still in Alexandria but right now i and my family are both in west Africa.it was due to my transfer that made me and my family to leave the house.
We are on a missionary mission for God By the state Christ church.We tried to get an agent that we could give the documents/paperwork before we left since we left on a short notice and couldn't find any trustworthy and responsible agent and we as well as don't want our condo taken advantage of due to our absence that is why we are here with the keys and paper works with us.
All we want is to give it out for rent and look for a responsible/reliable person that will take very good care of it.we are not after the money but want it to be clean at all time and the tenant that will rent it to take it as if it were its own.
Now my condo is still available for rent now for $800 including public services such as sewer,Garbage,gas,electricity and so on. There is a 3rd room off the kitchen which we used as a store room. Hall bath with tub/shower combo.Kitchen Includes stove, refrigerator and there is a washer/dryer connections condo.

Hello Michelle,
Thanks for the informative reply as your personal data has been documented for further rental paperwork's and reference purposes.You can go to view the home from the outside.We take care of damages.The Security Deposit is $750 and rent is $800 Total move in cost $1550 and tell us how long rental term/duration you want.The rent is due on the 5th day of every month.Directly send the 1st month rent and deposit payment to me via money transfer facility.
I will like to know whether you are ready for the payment of Refundable Security deposit?This is important because the deposit will be used for the payment of a postal delivery service to your location through a Postal Delivery Company, as the home delivery details will be forwarded to you in advance.
The postal package will contain HARD COPIES of documents and items;
1) House Entrance keys and the rooms Keys
2) House Rental form(Containing your reference details)
3) The house documentary file
4) Full address and description of the house.
5) Rental Agreement Form.
The house vital informative papers and keys will be home delivered at your current address
Therefore, we took the house documents and keys along with us when we were coming to West-Africa, mostly because we want to personally find a clean and trustworthy person as a tenant. Once you take the rent and move in, the whole gamut of responsibility that comes with actually "owning" a home becomes your responsibility. And we are very happy that it is comfortable for you. The house vital informative papers and keys will be home delivered at your current address and under your name as the receiver.
we shall be visiting in August to check on how you have been taking care of the condo and if it is okay by us then we can talk about extending the rental terms. Please, once again we are making this rental agreement with you based on trust and hopefully do not disappoint us as you will surely love the house, this is a promise.Please get back to us today with a reply so that we will inform you on how to transfer the Security Deposit directly to us.
Please get back to me today with a reply,

The thief will tell you that you can rent his accommodation only if you can prove that you have genuine interest. He will ask you send money by wire transfer (normally Western Union) to yourself or a member of the family to show that you have sufficient finances and that you are not a "time waster".
Another variation of this scam is that you need to send (by Western Union) money in order that the keys and other documents can be couriered to you
He will ask you to send him the transfer details.
Make no mistake ! Western Union Transfers can be picked up virtually anywhere in the world and with the minimum of identification. They are almost impossible to trace once the money has been collected. You will never get to see the accommodation or your money 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 Gumtree or similar listing sites. If you receive any requests from 'Landlords' asking for some kind of payment by Western Union 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.
