What would you do with this prospective tenant?

I posted an apartment on Craigslist last week and had a handful of responses. One of the responders exhibited several things that when combined result in them not getting any response from me. If you had this kind of response would you even respond? Is there any risk of this being considered discriminatory if I just ignore these emails but respond to other emails?

-No name on CL account (not the end of the world, but when combined with other issues it's a red flag to me)

-Email riddled with spelling and grammar errors

-Looking to sign a lease this week

-Emailed me 3 times on 12/1 and another time on 12/2

To me, this screams desperation and almost certainly future headaches. Does anybody else see it this way?
