Thanks for getting back to me and I read your posting on Craigslist,
and I am very interested in the room. It’s in the perfect location for
me and it sounds like we could be great roommates. I will be arriving
the state by earlier of the next month just let me know when we can
start the lease although i wont arrive the state until 7th of
November.

About me: I'm Linda Ortiz female from Spain, 27, am currently
working with the Federal Agency of Works and Natural Resources . I am
pretty quietand neat, but not obsessively so. I’m responsible and will
pull my weight around the apartment and pay bills on time. I like to
cook, and it would be great to have people to cook with or eat with,
but it’s definitely not a requirement in a roommate. I don't smoke and
I don't have any pets. I've got a lot going on this year, so i won't
be around the apartment all that much. Mostly, I’d just like a place
that I can come home to and chill at the end of the day. I am social,
though, and get along well with most people. I probably won't have too
many house guests, but I would like to feel comfortable bringing
friends over once in awhile.

More so i would really want to secure the room before my arrival, and
more so to know if it would be possible for me to pay for the room
before my arrival,So i will like to know the total amount of the room
per month and the utility included. All these information are very
important so that i can submit my proposal to my Organization.My
Organization will be responsible for all the fees and the payment .
Please let me know if I can give you any more info that would be
helpful for making your decision. I will be more than happy if you can
tell me little about you too. I will also like to see more picture of
the room if possible.

Thanks & God bless

Linda Ortiz
