Hello,

Thanks for your response,my name is Kimberly, my husband owned the Flats you're interested to rent, we are given it out for rent but we are looking for a responsible/trustworthy person that will take very good care of the house (properties) for us. It was due to my husband transfer that makes us leave the house, as we are not after the money for the rent but we wanted it to be well clean n tidy all the time, and interested person that will rent it will promise us he/she would take care of the house as if it was his/her own!

So, for now i am here in our new house in in Ohio United State, with the keys/documents of the house we're renting out... We try to look for a trustworthy agent that we can give the keys/documents before we left but could not see, and we don't want our house to be used any how while we are here, Because our former agent try to sale our flats, at the same time he always rent it out to tenants with different price we told him to rent it out, that is why we took the keys and documents with us the last time we went home! And as you know that my husban is busy doing his ministry work, so i hope you will promise us to take very good care of the house for us? Because we've had a bad experience trying to rent this Apartment out to someone as we are currently out of the flat so i want you to know that we are doing everything to protect the same thing from happening again because it cost me alot of stress as we have to send the keys out to the tenant and we didn't hear from them anymore not knowing that they've already living in the house until the bills notification came to my email and it was higher than usual and our property was also stolen!

So, get back to me on how you could take care of our house or perhaps experience you have in renting house....Hope you are okay with the price of 700 monthly with hydro,heat laundry facilities,air condition,high speed internet and so on.

I look forward to hearing from you asap, so that i can forward you a application form to fill out and discuss on how to get the house keys and documents to you via DHL, also are you ready to rent it now or when? Tell me about you and what you do for living and where?

Thanks And God Bless You

Await your reply,
Kimberly

And here is where the money is to be sent to:

John Ramey

Couldn't get a fix on there IP address but oh my, if you read the post of Rebecca Jones and her husband you will notice that they have the same address as this person. There must surely be some confusion of who owns the property! They also tried calling me on the fake number I gave them and they were surprised that they couldn't get through! :lol:
