Hello,
Thanks for your response and interest in our house.
Our lovely home is still available for lease and we want responsible adults/family who are neat and also 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 way too much of an agent fee which was making it tough for people who cannot afford the rent stay away from renting my house.
The main reason our house is up for lease is because I got transferred from my place of work to West Africa , I and my family will be away for at least a couple of 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 Amanda(13yrs) and a Son (21yrs) who attends University Here Now studying Medicine, They both a lot going for them and I work for a Highway Construction Company here in West Africa and got married to a lovely wife Josephia who is a member of Asbury United Methodist Church .
We will be very pleased if we can find the right/potential tenant to rent our home, a person who is a clean & responsible 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.

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.
