Subject: PROPERTY FOR RENT

Thanks for the email, its good reading from you again. I really appreciate your response and with the information in the listing. I don't have any question at the moment. I would have loved to see the property before making any plan but the distance is the problem. I would like to go ahead in renting the property from you. I'll be coming with my husband and we are relocating from London, UK .

I will be coming with my husband and we are relocating from London, UK. My company is trying to open a branch in your area and thats the reason why i'm coming. My Company will be responsible for the monthly rent and security deposit. I will sign the lease agreement in person and will be signing a year lease with you as soon as i get to the States. We will be moving to the States on May the 30th and i want the lease to start same date because We will be moving into the property directly. Kindly get the ad off from all listings because am taking the property for sure and it will be a done deal.

In the meantime, I will like to secure the property asap so that i can attend to other important things for our move to the Country.In order to proceed with payment, I will need the following information so that we can continue from there.

(1) FULL NAME AS IT WILL BE ON CHECK.
(2) MAILING ADDRESS.
(3) CELL NUMBER AND ALTERNATIVE NUMBER.

Kindly get back to me with the above information and incase of any question,

Await your response asap. Phillips
