well regarding what you ask for how long are we giving our apartment out for rent, that should be for a long preiod of time, for about 6-8years because we have our own apartment here in west africa more like our home and we are not going back to the apartment in Seattle WA, that is because my family left us an apartment in Almont, MI. Please your cell phone number is needed thanks

After reading the last email, I became suspicious and ask for any pictures or info letting me know that they are who they say they are, but have not heard back!
I started searching on the internet and found someone on rip offs website after googling who is in New York who received similar emails!
