Hi,
Thank you very much for the response but before we move forward,i will like you to know the full information about me. I was born and raised in Wyoming,i am quiet and easy going person to live with. I'm 26 years of age... I am extremely clean,quiet and respectful, I am sensitive, intelligent and am easy to get on with. ..I am a faithful and committed person, who is very considerate of other people's feelings. I don't drug and i dont smoke or drink.. I enjoy going out with my friends to movies, plays, parks, hikes, anything to do with the ocean and horses but i'm cool living with people.
Right now, am working for a Non Government Organization on a program on children with orphans and heart related probs.My next program/seminars will be in your town and I will need a room to stay for these seminars, so I want to secure a room before my arrival.
I must confess that i'm comfortable with the area of the house/apt and i am ready to pay for the room. I will like to make the payment for the first month ahead of my arrival, and then i will make subsequent payment thereafter as i plan to stay for 6-12months.I have told my boss about this and he promised to make sure that he will meet up with the payment so that I can depart from here as scheduled.He also said I will have the advantage to make payment for deposit .I should arrive to your place on or before the 24th of May(I will pay for the whole month of May),so pls keep the room for me till my arrival.He also said my mode of payment will be the Most acceptable,safer and reliable means of payment which is United state certified money order/Cashier Check so get back to me with your name and address so that i can send you the payment as early as possible.

I just submitted this to the web and YES its a scam. You can find the same letter with different last names.
Google comes up with so many of the scams it took a few minutes to find this almost exact match.

It's obviously a scam. 26 year old woman wants from the white and low crime state of Wyoming wants to pay right now to live with me. Willing to send the money without having ever seen the room, yeah right.
Oh and it's a "non government" organization. Just in case I'm mountainman.

I am working with only a few seconds between for stress relief. Do this. Submit > Thank you very much for the response but before we move forward,i will like you to know the full information about me. I was born
Too Google. Before I located the EXACT letter with another last name, I found a site that shows a series of scam replies. So it starts with just that one letter and you reply. Later you get more letters asking for just a little more info. Then at some point THEY need a phone number and so she can get a phone line etc she needs more. You get where this is going lolo.
Attempt to get enough from you so they can use the personal info to scam you with identify theft.
Now the cruel joke and its no joke. Those infamous Nigerian email scams and look this up on FBI web site. 100's of Millions of bucks every year. Total exceeds Billions of dollars. Who would think enough people would be so dumb.
