Thanks for the email, it is a pleasure making your acquaintance. Browsed through the details of your property and I want it. I arrive with my wife and our children, two girls and two boys. I work with the UNDP (Admin., Whitehall, London SW1A 2NS). I have been transferred to Charlotte, NC.
Was in Manhattan at the Head Office 2 months ago for a seminar. I applied at the DHS, did the medical check-up, I cleared and my SSN is being processed.
My contract is for 1 year but in all likelihood will be extended beyond that. I prefer paying the lease for the period upfront, if it is preferred otherwise, I am sure we can come to an understanding for monthly payments.
I arrive the states in 2 weeks, with me I will bring my employment and transfer letters. I will really appreciate it if you can take the ad off further showing and hold the place for me till I get there. I would be glad to place a good faith deposit for this purpose.
Please let me know if this arrangement works out for you. I sincerely look forward to hearing from and subsequently meeting you.
Regards,
Abia

Hi <removed to protect privacy> Mike W,
I just concluded with the travel agent and she informed me that money gram money transfer is the safest and fastest way to send the funds to this country from US/Canada. As soon as the funds is made available to you go to any money gram outlet close to you and send the money to my travel agent. Although the overage is $1625, all i need for my travels is $1425. I don't know if i would be able to get a refund from the travel agent so it would be safe to send just what i need which is $1425. The transfer should cost around $30. I was also told that its important you have the funds sent at an outlet and NOT online cause money gram would normally put a hold on funds sent online until they confirm your Identity.
This is the information you need to have to funds sent to my travel agent.
Name: Alolita Singh
Address: 110 PK5 road
State: Cotonou
Country : Benin
Postcode: 00229
Kindly take care of this and send me an e-mail containing the details below needed to pick up the money (you may also scan and send the receipt as email attachment):
1.....The exact amount you sent in XOF franc(local currency here).
2.....The Sender's name as written on the money-gram form.
3.....The 8 digit reference number
As soon as i receive the above information i will forward it to the travel agent and i would be able to tell you my exact flight schedule
