Good morning , How are you doing today?
i hope you are doing pretty good well, My name is Mary Stewart and I am 28years old from Great Britain. I saw your advert online and i am interested in your room /apartment for rent. I was born in great Britain, and I will be having my Study leave as a student doctor coming up soon in Canada.
Right now am in Wales for a program on children with heart related problems. My next program will be in Canada and i will need a room to stay. The most important thing is that i need to secure a room before my arrival to Canada.
Pls do get back to me with the room description,move in rent fees for the first month and any deposit if included . Kindly let me know the duration of the rent( How long do you intend to rent the room/apartment out for? ).
Am planing to be in Canada as soon as possible, i don't drink nor smoke,no pets and no boyfriend because i am a very busy lady only dedicated to my work.
Please kindly get back to me with the move in rent fee for the first month and i will appreciate it if you can furnish me with the room specification and pictures.
Thanks and do hope to hear from you soonest.
Regards Mary Stewart
