His response:
| quote: |
Pastor Blinton,
I thank you for doing the lord's work in West Africa, a truly ravaged and dark place. However, as a fellow child of god, I must graciously decline your offer of the property - you see, the dimensions of the Guest Water Closet do not meet my needs, as I often like to have guests. Like me, they love smoking and drinking, and when we get drunked, we require an extra-large Water Closet in which to defecate and urinate. I'm afraid a 5'0" by 2'1" Guest Water Closet is simply too small.
Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to correspond with me. God bless your family and your work.
-Yours in Christ,
Mathilda |

Those seem to be all over..
I dealt with one as I was looking for temporary housing in Anchorage. Very similar wording. Once I realized it was just a scam - I never replied back. Wish I would have now! |

Yeah I guess it's not really THAT funny. I just thought it was a little clever, I actually thought it was a real apartment listing until all the bad grammar/punctuation, they're definitely getting better and more creative :p |
