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: Looking for an aupair
Dear Friend,
my name is Dr.Lino Torrez.I am a doctor and also a Professor for UNICEF for the development in Health and Drugs which i have been able to travel to well over 10 countries from Holland where i live before but my family just moved to the United Kingdom recently.I also work for klints clinic in the United Kingdom, I am happily married to a wonderful woman named Mary and she works as a field engineer in the United Kingdom too so most of the time her work takes her out for days and some times for weeks or more while i am also always in the hospital attending to patients and sometimes will have to travel out of United Kingdom for work which is really affecting my family.I also have two lovely kids that i can do anything for in my life, believe me they mean the world to me and they are David and Kim.
David is 10 while Kim is 8 years old and we are very happy as a family, due to the busy schedules of me and my wife because of the nature of our jobs the kids most time are left to be with our family friends and sometimes my parents will have to come down here to take care of them which is not convenient and as a matter of fact the family they stay with is living the UK for France in a month's time which has made us to be on our toes to find the very best of person that can take good care of them and the house for us just the way we will.We need a trust worthy and friendly person to take care of our kids in our absence. we will need you to take them to school and bring them back home. they like picnics and love having fun so you will be a part of the family and you will take them to the movies and cinemas once a while,they really liked our last aupair in Holland because she was friendly and took them like her own family or should i say like her own kid brother and sister.
I will be expecting your mail to know if you have a Working Visa to work legally in UK and if you can drive to know if you will make use of our spare car, your monthly payment will be 3,500pounds and you will be collecting 500pounds as your weekly allowance. Your Saturday and Sunday will be free days in case you have other things you want to do for yourself and you will be living in an apartment of 2 rooms and a living room which is part of our duplex owned by my family.
we will also like to know when you will be available to come over and the duration you can spend.in case you want to study abroad that will not be a problem as my family will help you secure a good college or university of your choice,all these i suppose should be Okay by you and as regard to my family picture, i will send them to you once i get a reply from you to show that you are interested in the job.
I hope to hear from you soon.
Best Regard
Torrez
