Hello,



Thanks for your interest and inquiries about my house.
Yes the house is still available for rent and we are looking
for a responsible person/family to occupy and maintain the
house now that we are not around. Myself and husband just
travelled to Orlando, Fl for a program called SERVING IN
MISSION (SIM), you can view the link for more info: (http://www.sim.org/index.php/content/our-purpose).





We will be away for 2 to 3 years or more that is why I
have made up my mind to put up my house for rent to whom
ever that will take good care of it. However, my initial
plan was to sell the house but it was not successful
because the Realtor raised the price which made it difficult
for me to sell before leaving the States so never mind if
you see the for sale sign in front of the house, It has
already been taken off the market as for sale so there is no
need to contact any Realtor.





Also how long do you intend to stay? How soon do you
intend to move in?



FEATURES : Laundry, Electric Range, Electric Heat,
Master Bedroom, Playground, Car Park.

AMENITIES: Air Conditioning, Patio/Party Deck, Cable
TV, Ceiling Fans, 24 hours Internet service, Dishwasher,
Fireplace, Garbage Disposal, Microwave, security alarm, Pets
Friendly, Refrigerator, Washer / Dryer.



Rental Price: $600 per month and security Deposit is
$500 (Security Deposit is Refundable) Utilities included in
monthly rent

Pets are Welcome.

Below is the address to the house:

(3820 Ridgecroft Rd, Baltimore, MD 21206)



You are welcome, It is good to hear from you . I may not be
returning to the house because we plan buying another house
upon arrival. For more inquiries, Here is my cell phone
number, call or Text me ASAP 760-469-9050 Below are some questions I
need you to answer so that we can discuss further.

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.

How are you doing, Hope great.. My wife and I sends our heartfelt appreciation and warmth greetings to you. We went through your application and Most especially your mail, You gave us an inner peace of Mind that really got us going. Your Re-assuring mail that our home will be taken care of well as if it were yours is something that makes me want to rent to you.

To sustain the Life we do not really require much. It takes only a little food,something to wear and a place to" lie down". The rich might have an abundance of this things,and the poor may have to struggle to obtain what they need.What difference there is, however, is equalized when life comes to its end-everything comes to naught.(Eccl.9:5,6).

Thus Life to have meaning and worth, it cannot and should not simply consist of things that one can acquire or possess.Whether we are rich or poor,we do not have complete control over how long we may live or whether we will even be alive tomorrow.The bible clear shows that Only God alone is the source of life and only he can grant faithful ones the real life or everlasting life without end in Heaven. You are just an accurate example of the fulfillment of psalm 23..which God has promised to make you lie down in grassy pastures and he further says :By well watered resting places He shall conduct you, verse 6 says surely Goodness and mercy shall follow you all the days of your life; And you will dwell in the house of the lord forever and ever.
