Hello Jessica,
Am Prof. Edwards Nick, Born and brought up in Sydney Australia. Am in the field of Medical Science, working under the supervision of "W.H.O" (World Health Organization). With the kind of my job, I believe I have no other choice but to be a traveler. I go from place to place, I hardly spend more than 1 to 2 Month(s) in A place before moving to another location. I accepted this job because, it has a lot to do with my line of profession, as a medical researcher. I bought the house at no 13531 Pecan Oak Dr, in the county of Houston TX 77065, From Mr. Lynn Browns, may his gentle soul rest in Peace Amen, who died in a gasly car accident in NY. I left the state 29/11/2007 for Africa to continue my job and profession in the shores of Africa. The house was supposed to be for sale, on getting here, I discovered diseases of different kinds, and so many that are suffering from it. This made me change my mind about selling the house. So I decided to give out the house for rent instead of selling it, so the money realized from it will be donated to this people as my own quota, mean while putting head together with medical researchers over here to see what vaccine can be produced to help this dieing souls. I feel for them especially the little kids among them. About the house, There is a for sale sign on it, due to the fact that I had wanted to have the house sold, but because of the reason I gave, it will be for rent. The sign will be removed by the new tenant that will be staying there. These same reasons is why the house is on the cheap side, am not really after the money, but after someone that will take good care of the place for me as if it was his/hers. I hope you are ok with the amount and a deposit of Month, that will be as upfront you will be making as your first payment. Please help me to help this once here they are dieing. I need someone that will take good care of the place not just someone, but one with a good tenancy experience. Get back to me if you know, you want to join me in saving these lives. Below is a kind of an application form, really all I want to know is things about you, please be truthful with the info you will be giving to me, am counting on you. Please make it ASAP.

Hello Jessica,
once you make the payment the house becomes yours, what ever you want to do there now depends on you, in as much as you promise you are going to take good care of the place me. Am holding you on your word. Thanks, say hi to your family for me.
Hello Jessica,
I rented the house to a man, which after two weeks of his stay in my house, gave me call that he doesn't like the place. He ordered me to refund half of his money and he will send back my keys and document, I sent back half of the money and which he also did. So i wouldn't know if he changed or removed anything from the house, my fear is that, I don't know maybe he locked the house before leaving the premises. The colour of couch I left before leaving the state was a leather which has a cream, in the dining i had only the dining table with 4 chairs. There was no name on no eraser board. This is why i need some one to take care of the place for me,if I am going to rent the place out again. I just want you to trust me on this as am also trusting you on taking care of the place for me.
Thanks.
Edwards
