Why I love craigslist




So I'm going to take some time off from my Conan O'Brien to share with you all the greatest single response I've ever gotten from a craigslist ad. Let's turn back the clocks to 2007 I was just moving into a 3 bedroom apartment and I needed to find a 3rd roommate so like anyone I put up a craigslist ad. A few days later I got this response:

"Thanks for getting back to me...everything sound cool and alright,......wenny...27yrs of age from usa,i will like to secure the room before my arrival and i will be checking in 2week time... the deposit fees will be made out to you soonestto avoid any delay.Here is little about me,Am very humble and easy going lady.. i do modelling and humanitarian work for a living, i love my work becos it make me travelled alot...i was born in usa , but presently i will moving in to the usa finally from Belgium , so all the paymentarrangement is being take care of by my boss, i love swimming,and going to cinema house..i love to makepeople laugh, i bet it you will enjoy having me asyour roommate, am not married, no kids.i love to enjoythe best of life... i will like to have the full name,address, city,state, zipcode, home phone,cellphone.so that i can get this across to my boss for quick payment for the deposit, becos is a busy man, he will be speaking onbehalf of me .but i will tell him

Unfortunately Wenny didn't end up taking the room, and my heart still aches to this day.
