Greetings!
Thanks for the mail and sorry for the late respond as a matter of fact the house is still available for rent and is ready for move in now.First of all let me start by introducing myself ,my name is Sheena Allen, I must confess that I am very new in this landlord business.
However,i own the house you are making inquiry about.Am a Medical Doctor, i work for the American Red Cross Lutheran Hospital Donor Center, and now i have been transferred to West Africa Nigeria to work with the world health organization and am going to stay in Lagos with my family for like 4 years,that's the main reason i decided to rent out the house.
Actually before leaving the state we try to look for a dependable agent/Realtor to handle the rent issue but could not find one due to the limited time we had before leaving the country. Mostly we do not want our property to be given to any sort of person to avoid damages and troubles,although it was when We knew how long we are going to stay in Lagos that We decided to rent out the house, however,the initial plan was to sale out the house,which we tried,but the agent inflates the prize and it takes longer to sell that is why we decided to rent it out i am telling you this in case if you find the house on another website,that is the old advert because of this reason and more we are looking for a responsible and God fearing person that can take very good care of the house ,so i will solicit for your absolute maintenance of the house and want you to treat it as your own, It is not the money that is the main problem but i want you to keep it neat and tidy all the time so that i will be glad to see it neat when i come for a check up.i hope i can put my trust and confidence in you as i always stand on my word.
The utilities are also included in the monthly rent such as Dryer,Washer,Internet,Phone line,Trash,Water,Laundry facilities,Air condition,A secured parking space and more. also the house vital informative documents and the entrance keys to the house are with us here in Lagos.

TAKE NOTE: YOU CAN ONLY DRIVE BY AND SEE MY HOUSE FROM THE OUTSIDE OR WALK AROUND THE SURROUNDINGS,BUT IF YOU DRIVE BY THE HOUSE YOU MAY SEE A SIGN THERE,YOU HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT IT BELONGS TO OUR PREVIOUS AGENT SO YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT AND YOU DON’T HAVE TO CALL THEM BECAUSE THEY DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THE HOME ANYMORE!
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.
