Josh,
I am delighted to read from you again. Your response concerning the home is satisfactory and I would gladly inform my dad to send the rent's deposit to you asap. Meanwhile, I would like you to e-mail your full name, telephone number and mailing address so that a check can be mailed to you. Thanks and God Bless. Cheers.

Next he'll want your bank account so he can wire you funds...
RUN!
Or give him some random address to some corporation (one you may dislike or have had problems with) in some random place...like Alaska. That'll get him all flustered.
Or better yet give him an address to the FBI or CIA.

Anybody who is registered with the school receives an email account so they can be contacted by profs and the like. I did a search on her name, and absolutely nothing came up. I'm thinking it's not even worth it to verify it with the school?

I would email back...
You seem like an honest person, so you don't need to mail me a deposit check. Just hand it to me when you get here. I look forward to meeting you.

You seem like someone I can trust. Maybe you can help me get $50 million in gold out of the country. My father was the president of the national bank, blah blah blah...

haha ohh man. is there anything we can do that would cost them money or atleast take up a ton of their time before they realize we are bull****ting them?
Tell her someone else is interested and she should overnite the deposit check. Then say there was no check in the envelope and to overnite another one, you are up at least 30 bucks that way. If you do get a check we can think of some more fun.

Hey Carolyn,
Awesome to hear from you again. I spoke to the landlord and there is no problem with subletting you my place, he just needs a few pieces of your information.
1. Your current address and telephone number
2. At least one verifiable reference
3. Your program of study at The University of Guelph
4. A recent picture of your face
If you could send me this information asap that would be greatly appreciated because there are a number of people interested in subletting the place.
Eagerly awaiting your reply,
Josh
