Here is a copy of my email from what sounds like the same guy ("Adams Thomas" <
[email protected]>) but with a different name. My guess is you will receive a check for more that the required rent/deposit by certified check and will be asked to send the balance back by certified funds only later to find out his origional check was bogus. As craigslist advises always deal face to face. Do not let some fantastic offer get in the way of your common sense.

Hi ,
Thanks for your mail, I will be willing to pay 1 month rent to start with plus the security deposit in order to secure this unit prior to my arrival.
I am an Engineer by profession and I am currently working with Wessex Survey & Design Ltd UK. I will be coming to the state for the next one year and during my stay, I will be working with Black & Veatch Incorporation a leading global engineering, consulting and construction company specializing in infrastructure development in energy, water, telecommunications, management consulting, federal and environmental markets.
My sole financier that is based in the States will be handling the rent deposit payment on my behalf, I will instruct him to send you a Certified Check for this as soon as you give me the go ahead to make out payment to you. Due to the limited time that we have before our arrival, we are making arrangements with a furniture company to supply the home with furnitures,so we will need you to provide us with the the following:
# Measurements of the living room and bedroom.
# Picture viewing the living room and the bed room(s).
# As regards the lease agreement and application, I want you to send it to me for my review. I will eventually have it filled and signed on my arrival in your place as I am of the opinion that such documents are best filled and signed physically by appending signatory at best physical. We can start the lease by asap and I will be doing a one year lease. You can prepare the lease in my name.
I will look forward to your e-mail with the required information.
Thanks and sincere regards from me and my precious family. I await your urgent response.
Regards
