How are you doing, I am contacting you as regard the room which is available for rent..

Firstly, let me introduce my self..
My name is Marie,am 25,easy going, clean tidy,non smoker female...

The house formally belongs to my late father, who worked with the British Embassy here in Germany until his death and he has passed it to my mother through his will...

I am currently working with an Airline which enables me to travel alot and i as well attend language school when am not working...

The most important thing is that,i am looking for someone to share daily live and common value, and the ideal person i will like to share apartment with must be a neat person,tidy, trust worthy, and there must be proof that he or she can pay for the monthly rent...

The apartment is located at BREMER REIHE 15, HAMBURG. Germany.

The apartment is located at the center of the city and it is close to the Central Station and aswell to the bus lines which makes the apartment to be accessible...

I can say the location is perfect as the House is in a cool area and there is no noise in the vicinity...

There is Washing machine, Dryer, TV connected to Cablet, DVD, Internet Connection via wireless, LAN and Broadband. so you can come along with your computer if you have one...

The house has parking space that can contain two Cars, and there is no need for you to bring in any furniture, as the apartment is well furnished and each room has window blinds,Bed spread,Bathroom and Toilet... but you can as well come along with your furniture if you so wish..

400 Euro for monthly rent.. (Utility and all bills included)..
900 Euro Security Deposit..( Its for security purpose during your stay in the apartment)..and it will be refund back to you on your move-out date...

To rent or secure the room, you will have to book for it as soon as you can in order to reserve the room for you, and for your seleted date...

Mode of payment will always be in cash but your first payment will be paid directly to Our Family Lawyer for security purpose and for future reference..

The minimum duration in the apartment is one month and long term stay is welcome in the apartment....

There are three rooms in the apartment, i currently occupy one, the second room is for rent, while the third room is regarded as the visitor's room. so your visitors can always use the room so the only thing we will have to share together is the kitchen and the living room, if its ok with you...

If you are interested in sharing the apartment with me, pls reply as soon as possible to proceed...

I wait your reply...

Regards

Marie


This person asks 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 either to him, a lawyer, your friend or a family member.

Sounds safe. It's not!

At other times, this person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union or Moneygram with the promise that they will send the keys through a courier company.

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.

Hello Future roommates,

Thanks for your mail, and It's really nice to know your interest in my room.

I have attached my Passport photogragh forr your security purpose and i hope its ok with you..?

The room is still available, but you have to do this on time. because there are people that are still contacting me about the room and you are the first to email me for the room, so am willing to rent the room to you. but i still need to be sure of your interest first before i reserve the room for you or for your selected date.

However, if you are interested in renting the room you will have to book for it as soon as possible by paying for a month rent deposit (first month) and the security deposit directly to my Family Spanish Lawyer, (currently in Madrid) via Bank or Wire Transfer. but before your payment to my Lawyer, let me have the following information that we enable my Family Lawyer prepare the Tenant Agreement Form in which you and i will have to sign after coming to agreement. then you will bring along your copy on your move-in date.

Let me have the following information for reservation.

1. Your actual moving-in and moving-out date...?
2. Your current home address...?(The purpose of the address is to enable me send a copy of the Agreement form to you, which you will bring along on your move-in date)
3.your Pictures or photo ID...?

About the signing of the Tenant Agreement Form that will be prepared by my Family Lawyer will be after having your Receipt of Booking, so that we can be sure of your seriousness in renting the room. so your commitment is needed for confirmation. i will also have to sign that i have received some certain amount from you for the rent and security deposit, so the receipt of your payment will be attached to the Form for future reference and for security purpose. I hope you understand ?

So let me have your details before you proceed with the payment then we sign the Contract to finalize the procedure.

I wait your responds.

Marie
