Subject: Re: $700 / 3br - Brick and frame split level home consisting of 3 bedrooms, living roo (Cumberland, MD )
Greetings,
Thanks for the mail and I am sorry for my late response as i have been extremely busy lately, It gives me great joy to know that you are interested in my lovely house, it is still very much available for rent and also ready for immediate occupancy.
Before leaving the state,we tried to look for a dependable Realtor to handle the renting issue but we could not find one due to the limited amount of time we had before leaving the country. The initial plan was to sell the house,which we tried hard to do,but the agent inflates the commission and it takes longer to sell that is why we decided to rent it out. I am telling you this in case you find the house on another website.That is the old advertisement and because of that reason and more we are looking for a responsible and God fearing person that can take very good care of the house.If you noticed, the price we are offering is far below the standard price. This is enough for you to know that we are not after a market rate rental fee but an absolute perfect care of the property. So if you know that you are very responsible, you can email me back to secure and occupy my house at my absent.I hope i can put my trust and confidence in you as i always stand on my word.
I would like you to know that i am renting this house out for such a low rate because i have been posted to West Africa as a Pediatrician(Kid's Doctor) and will need to spend a couple of years there before i complete my assignment. I would not rent the home out if not for this because we love the house so much. My family and I have decided that we would be moving to our other home in Hawaii when we get back to the states. I would like you to complete the tenant application form below and please be honest with the details so we can choose the right tenant.

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.
All the details such as names, addresses, pictures etc. that the scammer uses in order to back up his story, are stolen from elsewhere.
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.
I have go through your application form that you filled and everything is okay by us, well we just want you to know that you can live there as long as you want,also you can move out anytime you want..But you just need to inform us a month before you leave, so that i can be able to look for another good tenant.We are very exited and willing to let you move in our house as soon as possible and i have conclude with my family on accepting payment for the first month rent which is $700 and a security deposit of $700 which is sum of $1400 to move in as soon as you are ready.just get back to me with mailing address where The package containing the keys and documentations of the house will be delivered to you through Courier Service,and you have to pay some payment to hold the house if you are not ready to move into the house now.just for us to be convinced that you really want to rent the house and you want us to keep the house for you.you are to decide if you will pay the deposit or the first month rent first, So get back to me to know where we will be sending the keys and the document to and i want you to know that you can rich me at my cell phone number at any time+2348126910784 or text me @ (551) 333-9084 just dial it the way i type it OK.
Thanks and God Blessed You.
