Hello xxx,

Thanks for the interest shown in my flat. The room is still available
and the period you need to take this room is perfect and am fine with
you visiting the room on the day you arrive and moving in as well.

It's a three bedroom apartment and you'll be having a room to yourself
room which has it's own bathroom and toilet for your personal use that
would suit any single person or professional person specific need a
Central heating and Electric fans, Wall wardrobe. Rooms has internet
services,table&desk, telephone, and. there is a WiFi services, extra
towels and plenty of dresser space.

My flat is located at 1 Margaret Street, London, W1W 8RB , UK and the
nearest tube station is Regent Park st/Great Portland st. Tube station
and Russel square garden st. Tube station which is just a 3minutes
to my door step. The apartment is in an excellent Central London
location ,famous garden squares but at the same time close to sights
and attractions.

The rent is 75.00pounds a week or 300.00pounds a month for each room
which includes all council tax/bills like
gas,electricity,water,internet,central heat,cleaner and you would not
have to pay extra bill and a security deposit of 300pounds is required
which would be refunded back to you in full upon moving into the flat.

You would be sharing the flat with me. Am 28 years old English Female.
I work with an Financial company. I am nice and friendly to be with.
I hope you are also friendly too. I have had various international
room mates in the past and we really got along well. Am looking for a
flat mate that's looking for a place to call home and you might just
be the perfect room mate for me and i believe i would not regret it

You would have to confirm the following to me so that i can go to the
housing Committee lawyer to pick up A draft tenancy agreement to Send
to you so you can review the Terms and see if they are ok For you or
if you will like Anything to be added or removed becasue that benefits
you the most.

*Full name-

*Exact move-in date-
*Duration of stay-

I await the details as i await your arrival in London and it would
be great to have you in the flat. Have a nice time and i await your
response.

I posted an ad for a rental on Craigslist and within a few hours I got this reply. My ads always ask for a phone number. These scammers usually start like this by asking if "the rental is still available" but how can it possibly taken ie unavailable within a few hours of posting?
