This is not a genuine au pair opportunity; it is a scam.
If you are looking for an au pair job in the UK, please contact the British Embassy in your own country to check UK entry requirements. You can find the genuine British Embassy website by Google searching 'British Embassy' and the name of your country. Note that a genuine British Embassy email address will always end with @fco.gov.uk (and with no words or abbrieviations after that).
Do not send money to any agency, embassy, lawyer, or other person introduced to you by a potential employer. If you wish to consult the UK Border Agency, do not use an email address or website address given to you by your potential employer, but go to the genuine website here:
http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/
If you require any help with travel arrangements, please contact a travel agency in your own town, which you can visit in person.

Subject: Au pair/Nanny Needed
Good day, i am Hellen Standford from 57 cromwell avenue N6 5HL
HIGHGATE United Kingdom. I am a Surgeon and i am highly consumed by my
profession, for this reason i require an aupair to take care of my
lovely daugther (Betty). I have a 4 bedroom apartment in Highgate
where i live with my child (Betty). Betty is 6 years old and she is
too young to be left alone at home. SO, i need an Au pair for her
because she is the only one left at home after her Father died and i
have been the one taking care of her since then. My last aupair
contract end on the 15th of last month and she's prepared to go back
to her home country (Thailand) cause she want to resume back to
school.
A well furnished accommodation has been arranged for you in which
there is a television, video and computer (internet), a double room
with en suite shower facilities. Your duty is to take good care of
Betty at all cost, cook when necessary, take her on shopping and drive
her to school every morning which is just 2 km away from the house. I
am offering to pay you 1700 Pounds monthly which is negotiable, i will
also give you a pocket money of 200 Pounds every weekend in case you
need some money for your self cause the 1700Pounds will be paid into
your bank account every Month End but the 200Pounds pocket money will
be paid to you cash at hand. I will provide all your needs including
food and shelter and i will also help you with part of your
application process for all your working and travel papers as long as
you promise to be honest with my family. I will also sponsor your
tuition in case you want to attend language tuition or other course
here as there
are many colleges in my area. I would expect you to work for 8hrs
daily, 40 hours weekly (Mon-Fri) with weekends off. Henceforth, get
back to me immediately if you are interested in the Job so that i can
proceed on your application without delay.
Till i hear from you. Here is my Contact Home address 57 cromwell
avenue N6 5HL HIGHGATE United Kingdom. Email: [email protected] I
look forward to hear from you soonest possible.
Cheers.
