The Children's Support Foundation is a genuine charity, although not based in London, UK. The sender of this email, however, has no connection with The Children's Support Foundation, but is a scammer located in Nigeria, as his IP address shows.
This is not a genuine employment opportunity that he is offering, but is instead a scam, which will result in the loss of your own money.
The 'payments' received will not be genuine, and will most likely take the form of fraudulent checks. Even if they appear to 'clear' at your bank, later when your bank discovers that they are fraudulent (and they will discover this!), the money that you have 'paid in' will be subtracted from your account.
Therefore, all the money that you have forwarded to the scammers will actually have come out of your own personal finances and savings - you will realise that you have sent the scammer your own money. And you will not be able to get it back.
