Dear Au pair,
I am Stephen R. Guerg the CEO of Rob Fabrics, a popular fashion Fabric company based in UK. I am looking for an aupair to take care of my only Daughter Sandra. Sandra is 7 years old, smart and funny. I will like to know if you are able to join our family as the next aupair for Sandra. I am a very busy person and i don't have time to meet up with Sandra's domestic care and that is why i have contacted you to take care of her and your duty is basically taking care of Sandra. So, get back to me immediately with details about you and some pictures if you are interested in the position so that i can also send you more information about my family. I will send you pictures of my family as soon as i scan them.
My address is 80 Fairway Drive London SE28 8Ql, United Kingdom.
Hope to hear from you soon.

Complete and utter scam - and one that the UK police might be interested in as they appear to be operating from landlines in the UK.

Non-EU citizens should go here to find out about obtaining a visa to work as an au pair in the UK

Whenever payment is requested by Western Union you're dealing with a scammer
