If you have 2 month rent fee right there with you Nickie. Well, you can use that as a proof to me by making a deposit to any of your friend or family around you and show me a receipt as proof and confirmation before i can go get my flight ticket . I traveled two time last week to show the flat to some couples but they don't have the money at hand to pay and turn out telling me stories that they will pay me when they got a good job..I don't want to risk or waste my time coming down anymore if i don't have a proof from who ever is interested in my flat before getting my ticket to fly down..I am sorry for any inconveniences but you just have to reason with me. I just don't feel comfortable asking for payment upfront before viewing my flat because its is not normal and does sound illegal .So i prefer having a proof you have funds and will proceed from there. Go to any Western Union office and do as instructed below to any of your family or friends name around and get back to me with a confirmation (scanned receipt of the Western Union).

BELOW ARE THE CONFIRMATION I NEED:

Proceed to Western Union location and send money to your close family or friend as a proof that the money is ready,all you will need at the Western Union is the fee and also the info below to fill the form at the Western Union:

* Sender name: YOUR NAME
* Senders address: Your complete address
* Receiver's Name: Your family name or Friend
* Receiver's address:


You should be aware that western union takes some charges for the transfer and i am telling you that i will return back to you the full transfer charges if you decide to rent the flat or not when we meet. As soon as i see the proof i will go ahead and book my ticket and come down to and show you the apartment and hand over everything to you.

Hope this is clear now?

Best Regards,
Joe.
