Betreff: Flat for rent in Berlin
Good morning,
First of all I'm sorry to write you in English but I don't speak very well German.
I received your email of interest for my apartment located on: Strassmann 24, Friedrichshain 10249, Berlin.
The apartment is fully furnished, equipped and renovated. I have the option of sending all my furniture into storage if you want to bring your own (no extra costs).
I am the owner of the apartment. My daughter lived there during her studies in Berlin, but now she's back home permanently (in England), so I'm renting the place for unlimited time.
The rent for 1 month is 350 € (for the entire apartment) including all utilities.
The security deposit is 700 € and you get it back, when you decide to leave the apartment ( you will have to give me at least 1 month notice ).
I want to rent the apartment in legal condition, so I want to sign a contract from a notarial office or a real estate agency, also you can be registered on the apartment's address without any problem.
This is the second time when I try to rent my apartment, I had a "deal" with a "nice couple" before, who said that they will definitely rent the apartment and convinced me to come over Berlin. So I got a plane ticket and they didn't show up. I lost money and precious time on their promise.
So don't get me wrong and don't take it personally, but now I don't want to buy another plane ticket to come and fall for it once more.
To come again you will have to show me a proof of your seriousness in renting my apartment, I do not need any advance payment done to me until you see the apartment, documentation and decide to rent it, but I will need to have some kind of warranty.
We can set up an appointment to see the apartment this weekend. Kindly let me know if you are really interested in renting my apartment so that we can proceed further.
Sincerely,
Emma

Good afternoon,
The monthly rent includes all utilities: water, gas, electricity, cable TV + wifi. Of course you can have visitors, that is only up to you. Your wife can live with you without any problem.
If you are really interested and decided, you can secure the apartment from now on, and I would keep it available for you until we meet.
It is unfortunate that my past bitter experience of inviting people to come and view my apartment without any form of confirmation of their financial ability and not keeping up to time as at when scheduled, has brought about great loss to me.
I'm sure you are honest person so please don't understand me wrong but some tenants are not really decided or do not have the money to pay the rent and yet they disturb me to arrange a viewing with their friends.
My husband and I have decided to carry out a simple test on seriousness and financial ability before coming for viewing.
I want to be sure that when we'll meet in Berlin, it might be a chance that we'll do the renting papers, sign the renting contract, give you the keys and return to my home if you really like the flat conditions. I will not ask for money in advance before moving in, I don't need any deposit from you or pay me any money at all.
But as a warranty that you really can afford to rent my apartment, I require that you arrange a money transfer, on your name. Because I used this system with my daughter when she lived in Berlin, here is what I propose:
You must ask XXX to find the nearest Western Union agency, and make a money transfer with the cost of the security deposit + one month cost ( 700 € + 350 € = 1050 € ) on your name. This transfer will be a warranty, so I can be sure that you will wait for me in Berlin when I will arrive.
Example of transfer:
sender’s name : your wife's name ( XXX )
receiver’s name : your name ( XXX )
receiver’s address : Berlin, Germany
After the transfer is done, you will receive a receipt. You have to take a picture of it and send it to me attached trough e-mail, as evidence. This proof will be enough for me to see that your interest in renting my apartment is real.
At my turn, I will book the flight ticket immediately and send you a copy of it. Then, we will set up a place and a time when we should meet in Berlin.
After we meet, you will inspect the apartment and if you want to keep it, we will go to a notary office and do all the needed paperwork. Then, we’ll go together to a bank branch nearby that has a Western Union Office and you will collect your money and make a bank deposit in my personal account where I want to receive the rent payment monthly.
Note that I am also going to pay for my flight ticket, and also all my trip expenses to Germany and back to England - 150 € ( including the notary fees 100 €, after we sign the rental contract ).
Thank you,
Emma
