Thanks for your email, I personally own the house, we want our property to be well taken good care, and there are some Precaution in which i do give out to tenant willing to rent my house which brings about safety of a home, so please don’t be offended. But if you are still capable of renting my house the precaution goes this way..
You must keep my house clean including the surrounding, you must know the way in which you use the stove so as to avoid fire outbreak,you must not disturb the neighbor. We decided to rent out the property due to our transfer to (West Africa) on a Missionary Work because, in a church here named World Mission, so we are renting it out since we need someone to take good care of the property on my absence.
Have this in mind you must know the kind of person that i am. Nevertheless i am giving you this Precautions because of what corresponded between me and my last tenant. the keys and documents are with us here in West Africa … so i will need to ship them to you before you can occupy the house but you can drive by the house anytime to take a look.

Hello,
My employer has sent payment to your location and I’ll be sending you
the details later. This will enable you know when it will arrive. I
will appreciate if you notify me as soon as it does.
This is the first time I will be traveling to North America and I
believe articulating myself with the cultural change will not be
difficult as people like you will make me settle in easily. In Spain
majority of us are conservatives and I believe Canada is an
environment with more liberal and free thinking individuals.
Facing new challenges and enhancing my skills will be first priority
and I promise you that you will not regret ever renting the place out
to me as I am a very matured and understanding person.
Most importantly my shipper will be getting in touch with you
regarding shipping of my Honda Accord to your place and I have
given him your contact.His name is Adam Manuel Navas and he’ll contact you
by email.
Yours sincerely
Charles

Hello ,
I am Adam Manuel and I am Mr Charles Morales shipper.He instructed
me to get in touch with you pertaining his personal effects that he
will be shipping from Spain to Canada but I have been instructed not
to commence shipping until you confirm receipt of your rent.
There are certain details that I will be requiring from you so as to
make sure everything goes as planned.But most especially I will be
needing the address that Mr Morales’s effects will be arriving in
Canada.
I await your response.
Thank You
Adam Manuel

I just relocate to live with my husband cos my doctor say’s i need his care, maybe he can help me get well soon.

Anyway, my husband his a very busy man that’s why i told him that i will find a nice,honest and responsible person for this our lovely home It has been a hard time for us.

I am Hans Viecenz and I just received an email of interest in my apartment . I am an German researcher working for a pharmaceutical company . I am the only owner of the apartment, it is paid in full and it has no legal problems . The apartment has not been inhabited since I am no longer living in Germany.
I wish to rent my apartment to some nice and responsible people and in order to do that I have to know a some details about you, like how many persons are you planning to live in the apartment, for how long, if you have a steady income, etc. I must tell you from the beginning that I do not have a problem if you are a student and I am very fond of pets and willing to accept them in the apartment. You should also know that I appreciate sincerity very much.
In addition to everything else here is a little something about the apartment and myself so we can get to know each other.
The apartment is the one in the pictures from the advertisement.I have the option of sending all my furniture into storage if you want to bring your own (no extra costs)
The rent for 1 month is 440 Eur (for the entire apartment) including all utilities (water, electricity, Internet, cable). You can rent the flat for any period of time (open end contract) but not less than 2 months.
About myself, as I told you I am a researcher in pharmaceutical products, currently living in London.
You can move in the apartment in the same day when you receive the keys. The only issue is that I am already in United Kingdom but I hope that together we are going to find a solution.
I appreciate your interest in my property and I am looking forward to a future collaboration and friendship.I hope that you can send me some personal information about yourself.

Best regards
