Subject: Re: $1000 / 4br - 4Bd/2Ba home for Rent Now.. (Salem, OR)

Hello,

It's my great pleasure that you are interested in our lovely 4BR, 2 bath home for rent. I am Rev Parker Smith the owner of this home, Actually we resided in this home before and presently we have packed out due to my transfer as a matter of my profession,where I work as a volunteer with Evangelical Council of Financial Accountability (ECFA),here is the site for more detail about why I am here in West Africa,Nigeria. (www.wycliffe.org) And my wife who is a missionary's dealing with Bible Translation and literacy worldwide.

As soon as we settle down here I had a thought of selling the house so I have to look for an agent, after getting one, we got a deal but later my wife advised against that. I reasoned with her and accepted her advise. So I contacted the agent back and requested for my keys and documents. Later we decided to have the house rent out, we would have give the same agent this job also but the truth of the matter is that the agent would want to handle it professionally and the occupant may not be able to reason along with him later. If you notice, you will discovered that the price we are offering is far below standard price, this is enough for you to know that we are not after the rental fee but the absolute care for the property. I know there is no way we can be sure that you are the right person to live in the house because we would not be able to meet physically before sending you the keys and the documents to occupy the property. The property is available for as long as you want and if you drive by the house you may see a sign there, you have nothing to worry about it belongs to my former realty so you don't have to call them because they do not have access to the house anymore. I also want you to let me have trust in you as i always stand on my word.we decided to rent if out because of love for humanity and so we can assist people,that is why i made the house so inexpensive because i believe everybody deserves a home both the rich and the poor.

We will be serving for a long term and now our home is locked up now and presently we have found a new home here which we will be staying for a very long term which might last 5 years in (West Africa,Nigeria) and presently our lovely home is still available for rent for ($1000)as first month rent and ($800)for deposit which includes the utilities More so,Now that we on Retreat program over here.Please I want you to note that all we will want is a very honest and neat person,so i will solicit for your absolute understanding and maintenance of this home and want you to treat it as your own,i am with the keys and documents here with me which will be sent to any responsible and interested tenant through FedEx further more you have to undergo some processes before i could be willing and convince to let my home to any tenant. The money is not the main problem but i want you to keep it tidy always. I also want you to let me have trust in you as i have always stand on my word.

Hello Daisy Davis,

Thanks you very much for your reply, i can see your willingness in this House. Am really happy you got back to me and I would say you are the one "GOD SENT" because my Wife and I are happy that we have finally found a responsible tenant who understands what it takes to rent ones home with great reference that you have provided. We have decided to let you live in our house. As we have found your application very wonderful, satisfactory and acceptable by my family. l want you to know that we can let you stay in my House till the period of time you wish to. I want you to know that the rent fee is among the House utilities all included, so you can use them anytime but make sure you take proper care of the properties.,I will be receiving the payment from you via Western Union because l think it reliable,secured and fast, and moreover I got into Nigeria just few weeks back and we have been trying to settle down for our purpose. This has made it difficult for me to set up a bank account here for transaction like this. But never-mind, I will be setting up one (Joint Account, for my wife and I) before the end of this year.l wish you best of luck in your work, from your profile l can see that you are responsible and a hard working person may the almighty Lord lead you in what ever you wish to do.Please once again, i want to trust you and i hope you do not disappoint us and i promise you that, you will love the house and not only, a good relationship between us. The following documents are here with us as i couldn't find anyone whom i could trust to drop them with for this purpose. But never mind, the FEDEX service will do for that.In doing this, you will need to make the payment of the first month rent($1000) and security deposit($800) to enable the shipment of the Keys and document to your current address, after which you could move in at your convenience.The rent starts counting when you move in and after 24 hours of moving in.so you can call me anytime we are so excited that we are renting to you.

RE-CONFIRMATION OF THE DELIVERY ADDRESS :

RECEIVERS NAME?:_________________

DELIVERY ADDRESS?:_________________

RECEIVERS NUMBER:?_________________

Here are the contents of the document that needs to be sent.

1) Entrance and the rooms Keys

2) Paper/Permanent house form

3) The house documentary file.

4) Full Description of the house

5) Payment Receipt

6)Lease contract.

As soon as the payment is been confirmed by me, l will go ahead and commence on how the House Keys / Documents will be delivered to you and i will ensure that i book for the 24 hours FEDEX delivery service as to enable you receive it on time and as scheduled. Let me hear back from you as soon as possible so that i can arrange for the delivery. Get back to me via email or call My contact Line are:(+2348151525993 )if you will need me to send you the information which you will use to make the payment via western union to me in west Africa....

So please do get back to me today so that I will let you know the next step to take concerning the payment.

NOTE: THE SECURITY DEPOSIT AND THE FIRST MONTH FEE IS REFUNDABLE IN-CASE YOU DON’T LIKE THE HOUSE.Please note that the deposit made is fully refundable should in case you finally gain entrance into the house after receiving the keys and documents and feel unsatisfied or uncomfortable with the interior,but i am giving you a benefit of doubt that you will love everything about this lovely and beautiful home and is ready for move in.The deposit will be refunded in less than 24 hours after you request for it.You are advice to act fast on this so you don't loose the house to other interested applicants.email me back as soon as possible.

Thanks and Remain Bless

God Bless.........

Rev Parker Smith .

My reply:

Hi Parker!!

Thanks for getting back to me so fast.

Nah, you are the one God Sent!! Anyone doing your kind of work should be commended and rewarded, IMHO.

I will probably stay in the house 1-3 years, if this is OK?? If you and your wife decide to come home sooner, please give me a months notice so I can find a new place. That's all I ask for.

I have $1800 here...but Western Union closes at night so...If I don't hear from you I cannot send it until tomorrow. Here's a re-confirmation of my information:

RE-CONFIRMATION OF THE DELIVERY ADDRESS :

RECEIVERS NAME?: Daisy Diana Davis

DELIVERY ADDRESS?: 555 Liberty Street Southeast, Salem, Oregon 97301

RECEIVERS NUMBER:? 503-388-6123

I look forward to moving into your beautiful house!! ☺

~Daisy

The job offer scammers I'm getting aren't nearly as religious as the rental home scammers you're getting. I am terribly upset. Who's going to see to my spiritual needs?

Parker has changed his name, but is still a man of the cloth! I received the same email (to the letter and bad english) this morning. I reported this to the real estate agent and to our Atty General. Who rents a home from someone in Nigeria?

His name is now Rev. Donna J Smith.
