埃德加正在寻找一个新家来居住。
He searched the internet and found a perfect flat for a very good price.
他在网上搜索，找到了一套价格非常划算的完美公寓。
He sent an e-mail to Francis, who is selling the flat, and received a quick reply:
他给正在出售这套公寓的弗朗西斯发了一封电子邮件，很快就收到了回复：
Hi,
Thank you for your interest in my flat.
Although I am not in town, I can send you the key to the flat so you can inspect it, but I need a security deposit of $5.000,- beforehand.
To show my trustworthiness, I attach a copy of my ID.
Cheers,
Francis
Edgar is unsure what to do and is asking for your help.
埃德加不知所措，正在向你求助。
Question: 问题:
What would be your best advice?
您最好的建议会是什么？
A. Don’t pay the deposit, there is a high chance that this is a mail fraud.
B. That is perfect. If you like the flat, you can keep the key right away.
C. Pay the deposit. With the ID you can always go to the police if you don't get the deposit back.
D. Pay the deposit, go and have a look and decide later on.
Explanation 解释
Statement 1 would be the best advice, since there are multiple spelling errors and another name at the end of the email, the name and ID must not be real.
第一条陈述是最恰当的建议，因为邮件中有多处拼写错误，而且末尾还有一个名字，所以名字和身份证号肯定不是真实的。
Statements 2 and 4 are not good as the chance is high to not even receive the key.
陈述 2 和 4 不好，因为很有可能根本收不到密钥。
Statement 3 is not good since the authenticity of the ID can’t be proven.
陈述 3 不好，因为无法证明身份证件的真实性。
