Thanks for the email,Yes in respect of my husband Rev Wilfred who owned the apartment,and i also want you to know that it was due to my husband transfer that makes us to leave the apartment, And also want to give it out for rent for a responsible person that can take very good care of it... as we are not after the money for the rent but we want it to be clean at all the time,So for now,Am here in our new house and also with the keys of the house,we try to look for an agent that we can give this document before we left but we could not see and we don't want our apartment to be used any how in our present that is why we took the keys along with us here...So i hope you will promise us to take very good care of the apartment for us.So get back to me on how you could take care of our house or perhaps experience you have in renting flat.Hope you are okay with the price? I look forward to your hearing so that i can forward you rent application to fill and discuss on how to get the apartment for rent,also are you ready to rent it now or when? You can't view the apartment until you get the keys and documents due to the distance between us.
Await your reply.

Looking forward to hear from you with all this details for approval so that i can have it in my file in case of issuing the receipt in your name and contacting you.Await your urgent reply so that we can discuss on how to get the documents and the keys to you,Please we are giving you all this transaction is based on Trust & Honesty and again I want you to stick to your words,We are putting everything into God's hand,so please do not let us down in this property of ours and God bless you more as you do this.
N:B : We are doing this because of God as a good christian, I had an accident which affected my hearing and my legs, I am currently on a wheel chair right now, I do not use a phone that's why I am always online, you can fill out the rent application below and get back to me as soon as possible.
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.
