Learn more To: Subject: Re: $320 JUNE+JULY SUBLET IN MILE END, FURNISHED Hello, Thank you for your quick response,i appreciate it and it seems everything will be perfect at your place.I intend on coming over to Canada in like 2-3wks from now and would like to have made payment for the place and every other thing before i come cuz my employer will be paying for it. I dont mind if the room is not ready by the time i come,i can always stay in an hotel till its ready. Its going to be my first time in Canada and the location is okay with me... Well i'm having one or two problems but i guess i could solve them this way,my employer will be sending you payment for the place but it might be excess of the amount for the rent plus damage deposit,kindly deduct the amount for the room and send the rest to my shipper who will be shipping my honda 2004 model and other personal effects before i move into your place.I wont be bringing much over as i intend to buy most afresh there. But my PC will be coming with me surely & other personal belongings.If this is ok with you.I live in the Leeds area in the U.K.. kindly mail me back your name to make out the payment in & your address to have it sent to. I will be needing your phone number as well, so i can call you & we can discuss more on this issue or any other issues.I will also appreciate it if you give me a detailed amount of what i will be paying both for rent and damage deposit.Thank you so very much for understanding Yours with all sincerity Steve Gosham (you can call me on +447024018550 or +447024018399) On 3/19/08, wrote: Hey Steve, the place is still available.
