Hi ,
The room is available rightnow. I'm glad to read your mail concerning your interest in my flat and the introduction about yourself. So I have no problem renting you my flat as much as I'm able to confirm your genuity and seriousness.
I am Elena originated half British/ half Italian. I am 26 years old, female, Straight and professional hair stylist. I own a saloon and i run the saloon by myself. I only earn a little money on my job. I solemnly depend on this property. So I will be glad if you can promise to take good care of the property. My father was the owner of the house before he died barely 3 years ago in an auto crash together with my brother on their way coming from Liverpool. My father was a British man while my Mum is from Italian woman. Therefore I inherited the property from my father. I owned the property and I have been using the other rooms to rent for a student, professional and couples with someone that is okay with my kind of person and most especially a trustworthy person, a clean and tidy person that I could confide in as a friend and family and that could confide in me as well and I believed you would be the kind of person. I am an industrious person. I don't interfere into other peoples private affairs. Am a very laid back person and also, I am open minded and free with everyone.
If you are really seriously interested in my flat and you want me to reserve the room for you, please be quick to avoid disappointment I will like you to provide the details below for the legal contract documents only if you have accepted my terms and conditions. I'm a very busy person, I don't have much time to waste at all. So please get back to me with your details only if you have accepted and agreed with my terms and conditions otherwise, don't bother to reply this mail. I'm fed up of time waster tenants. I believe you are really seriouse and genuine. So let me have the details below so that I can send the contract and flat terms to you by email to proceed with the reservation.

My inquiries were not addressed at all, the person also uses a British proxy but most likely originates from Nigeria. Please care!
