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.

After i have received the above details, i will discuss with my family and let you know our terms and how we would conclude on the renting process so you can move into our home asap or anytime you are ready. You can drive by the house since we are not in the State and we don't have anyone in the state we trust to show you the inside of the house for now, so if you are still interested let me know by filling the form above.
Looking forward to hear from you with all this details so that we can have it in our file in case of issuing the receipt for you and contacting you.
I hope to hear from you soonest.
Regards.

This person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union, MoneyGram, pre-paid credit card 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.
