Here is my apartment land line +44-702-403-9255,if am not around my roommates Jim or Mark would be however I prefer email communications hope we can get along together though I know it kinda hard expressing oneself via email,but I'll put my pride in the gutters and try to be as explicit as possible.

About me ....Im a single 26 yo professional lady.I prefer cleanliness than any other traits,I'm honest,responsible,and hardworking while I dislike lazy,messy and uncaring people.I love pets so much,am a quiet and easy going person to live with. I'm straight but gay friendly. I always love to go on a date but seldom party. I neither smoke nor drink,I swim for fun and sometimes play tennis also i enjoy snowboarding. I must confess that i am comfortable with the price&utilities,I will like to secure the place down pending my arrival. I will also be shipping my things down to the States such as My Toyota Avalon (XRX 2008)which I've been using for over 6 months now,and some personal effects. don't worry am not bringing in Furniture's I will easily purchase when i arrive. Moreover,Let me know how I can go about securing the place down and filling any necessary application before my arrival as i will busy this month preparing to come over as i plan to arrive on September 29th.

Reference: Doctor Sharon Robinson r.sharon17@yahoo.com

I hope you will finally consider renting this room to me ,Know well that your rules and terms would be strictly adhered to in the house.I have been introduced to different landlord and room owners but they don't seem easy to get along with, I hope we can get along well as I wait to read from you soon via email.

Sorry for the email novel .I know its a lot to read and i apologize for coming on strong im just looking for someone reliable.I look forward to hearing positive from you.

I initially thought it was a scam when matching up the characteristics of fashion designer/ devote christian/ models for hobby. Thanks to this board showing up in google I can confirm that!
