Hello,

We are pleased that you have an interest in our house, Our lovely home
is still available for lease and we want responsible adults/family who
are neat and also believe that they have what it takes to take care of
our house as if it were theirs. My wife and I initially had it up for
sale but had a change of mind in leasing it out ourselves because the
agent that was in charge of our rental property was asking too much of
an agent fee and also making it difficult for people who cannot afford
the rent, stay away from renting my house.

The reason why our house is up for lease is because I got transferred
from my place of work to West Africa, I will be away with my family
for at least 4 to 5 years because of the love I have for them, I have
decided not to sell our house and also assuring them that we only have
few years to spend here and will be willing to lease it out to
person/family who is willing to assure us of taking absolute care of
our home and pay their rent on time. I will start by telling you more
in regards me and my family. I have a daughter named Leslie (20yrs)
who attends University of Alabama as a medical student,she has a lot
going for her and she is also down to earth in all that she does to
keep us happy and when she is back home on vacation, she also assist
her mom in the house work when am at work. I work as a Robotic
Programmer & Welder/Fitter here in West Africa and got married to a
lovely wife who is a member of Joyce Meyer Ministries . We will be
very pleased if we can find the right tenant to rent our home, a
person who is a clean freak and does not tolerate anything that has to
do with dirt... we also would like to know more about you and your
family, your renting experience and how long and when you plan moving
into our home. I have received some proposals regarding the rent
because it is located in a very good area, but I still have to make
sure it is rented out to someone who can take good care of it.It
includes facilities such as water and heat laundry facilities, air
condition, internet and telephone access and a car park and other
necessary facilities, also comes with trash collection, pets are
allowed as well as long as they are not destructive.So if you know you
are capable of the task,get back to me so that we can provide you with
some questions that we would want you to answer.

This house is very spacious and neat.

Below is the rental property address:

4225 Grays Gable Road, Laramie WY 82072

Pets allowed: Yes

Rent: $500

Deposit: $500

The rental fee is inclusive with utilities and my home available as at
this moment.

FOR MORE INFO ABOUT THE HOUSE CALL ME ON (+234-808-296-2882 or
011-234-808-296-2882).

Best Wishes.

to answer ,so that we can discuss further.get back to us for further
discussion.It is available for a long lease as we intend buying a new
home on getting back to the state.The monthly rental fee is $500 per
month including the utilities and the security deposit is $500 which
is refundable back to you at the end of your stay if nothing is
damaged from my properties.It is not the money that is the main
problem but we want you to keep it tidy all the time so that we will
be glad to see it neat when we come for a check up.You will only be
able to drive by the house for now but not have a look at the interior

have it in my file in case of issuing the receipt and contacting you.
Await your reply so we can discuss on how to get the document and the
key to you.Please Note that your rent only starts counting after you
have finally moved into the house,so you need not to worry about
making the down payment now and not moving in immediately,all you're
doing is securing the house in your favor in order not to loose it to
other interested applicants.

Hope to read from you soonest...

Thanks so much and remain blessed.

This person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union, MoneyGram or bank transfer with a promise that you can have the keys to a property that does not belong to him.

Sounds safe. It's not!

At other times, he will ask 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 to a lawyer,a friend or family member.

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.
