I am currently working on contract for a company call James fashion home. here in West Africa ( Nigeria ) which the contract will be ending soon. Am currently in Nigeria now, i will be coming from here to the states. I do love traveling, It is very interesting to get more knowledge about the new countries, new people and traditions. It's great to have such a possibility.

F}I will also like to know Your payment mode.
G}I will like to know if I can make an advance payment ahead my arrival that will be stand as a kind of commitment that I am truely coming over and for you to hold the room down for me.

I will be very glad to have all this questions answered with out leaving a stone unturned...Now a little about myself;I am from Sevilla , Spain : that means i am Spanish and had all my education in Spain . I am 26yrs old and very much single,the only child of my only parent,my mother alive, i lost my father and my only brother years ago while i was still a kid in an auto accident.I am currently living with my mom who's a catholic volunteer worker,but also manages her antique business. She is a volunteer at the sister's of the eucharistic heart of jesus convent,here in Barcelona,Spain. I have been wanted to relocated to the US longtime ago even while i was a little girl growing up and my mom is in support.It' been a long dreamed come true for me when i finnally settled in the US now. I have chosen your city for a start to my new life when i arrive in the states.I am easy to get along with and well mannered.I do not use people's items without permission and consideration. Kindly get back to me ASAP with the your monthly rent and the deposit i need to pay to enable you turn down other interested parties and keep the place for me until i arrive,because i will like to pay for the deposit before my arrival and i will like to know the total amount the rent for a whole year would be,as i am more interested in a long term lease,but still open to any form of lease you want. But i will like to pay the deposit first of all before i arrive to show my seriousness and so that you can hold the place for me until i arrive.I am single as i said and i am not attached to anyone at the moment. I do part time modeling;i call myself an amateur though,LOL,just something i take as a hobby and also i have a masters degree in business admin which i bagged from the Huelva University on the Costa de la Luz in Spain . I will be looking to pick up Fashion Designer jobs once i arrive in ur city, Fashion Designer is my life and i love it. I am new living all alone as i have lived with my mom alone in the past but i have no doubs in my mind about my ability to live peacefully with as i was raised to be a lover of peace. A friend just introduced me to this thing and i really wish that i am able to find the good cultured kind of Place i am looking for here. I hope i am doing it right anyways.LOL. Well,i think we will get along well because am a easy going person who respects ones privacy,like i said i dont do drugs or smoke but i drink only occasionally,i strongly believe there will be any problems living with me as i was raised by strong catholic Christain parents and have inbibed such good qualities from childhood.I will love to see your pics and those of the place as well.I'll be so glad if you can reserve the room for me and remove all your the adverts abt the place as i'll love to rent the place. Get back to me ASAP Thanks and have a good time.
Warmest Regards,
Melina Crawford

Got the exact same e-mail from a "missquiet81" on roommates.com.

I have gotten the same email after using Craigslist. Now she won't stop emailing me asking me why I said it isn't going to work out with her.

Sometimes it's fun to mess with these people. As long as you don't (or haven't) given them any personal info, they're harmless.

Check out my latest blog entry for a fun example...
