Hi and welcome to Scamwarners.
It's a scam. The language is strange, but this bit makes it absolutely certain.
i want to pay by cashiers check,the check will be mail to you as soon as possible to secure the place, it can not be cash over here.all you need to do for me is to cash it,remove your lease money and send the rest to my travel agent in the states

The check will be fake, the "travel agent" will be the scammer, and you'll be asked to pay him by Western Union before the check bounces.
Can you post his email address please.
