Oh the search keeps getting better. This was an actual response I received today from my Craigslist post. I have starred out the name (***) but otherwise it is verbatim. I think Borat has a sister. Enjoy!

Hello,
Permit me to use this medium to express my interest
in your apartment, which you publicize for rent.
My name is Ms J*** from Finland,
I work with an Orphanage home which operates
as a NGO (Non-Governmental Organization). We primarily
organize seminars and lectures in order to improve the
general life of people, as well as to assist both the
less privileged ones and the people in the middle
class.
At present, i am in russia delivering a program titled
"THE IMPORTANT VALUES OF CHILDREN IN OUR SOCIETY"
where we analyze and interpret the importance of
children in general and how to help the less
privileged ones with heart problems and other
diseases.
My next program will be held in the United States of
America, that is the basic reason why i am contacting
you. As i will be needing a room to secure for the
seminar before my arrival in the States, and i will be
staying up to 5-7 months. I hope it is going to be a
great opportunity to be in the States, as well as
enjoying the beautiful atmospheric condition over
there.
I hereby want you to give me the full details of the
description of your room available and the cost of
moving in there, as well as other deposit which might
be associated with it so that i can rest assured of it
before my arrival in the States.
I am fully ready to abide with all the lay down rules
and regulations associated with the room.
Thanks, in anticipation of your immediate response.
