Craigslist Apartment Scam Letter

Dear buyer, thank you for needing a home, and liking mine. That is very sweet of you. Judging by your email and nothing else, you seem like the dream tenant and nothing could make me happier than getting you nestled into my two bedroom basement apartment - knowing you will take good care of it. Here’s the thing though. My wife and I are very charitable people, we always have been which is why will not be able to show you the apartment in person. You see, four years ago we found a stray dog on the side of the road and my lovely wife was instantly drawn to it (she is the best). We took the dog in to raise as our own. Everything was fine for a few months until the dog started to act like no other dog on the planet earth. I think you will love this 2 bedroom apartment with new appliances, but you need to understand that this dog was part alien.  Every night this dog gathers our electronics and wires them together to contact some other-worldly beings. It is very scary - but we are sure you will make a good tenant. I am currently at NASA. My wife is so lovely and so brave that she volunteered to travel into space with the dog to find its true home - this won’t affect you getting your true home. So I am at the NASA base, I tent out on the tarmac where she left me- unsure when she will return or even survive - but I left the keys for the apartment close to your location so no need to worry. My wife may be floating dead through space with an alien dog we cared too much for but this shouldn’t change how much you will love having laundry on site. Since I am sitting on the tarmac at NASA I am paying a lot of money for the wifi connection - I am sure you can understand this - so I will need this interaction to be quick. Especially since I myself am planning on rocketing into space if my warrior of a wife doesn’t return soon. You understand. So please send first and last month's rent and a deposit, and to be fair - and extra to retrieve the key from my trusted friend who lives in the same city as you. If I do not return from space you can have the apartment forever, I only ask that you continue to send payments even if it seems I might be dead. I trust you - and promise to treat you as my hero wife would treat an alien dog and I hope you do the same. Please send everything soon. - I am taking apartment off listings, will not be able to reupload if I am in space.
