This is not a genuine au pair opportunity; it is a scam. The man sending these emails is not a stockbroker living in the UK - he is a scammer living in Nigeria, IP Address 196.46.246.21.
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: I really need an aupair/nanny, please
Hello Aupair, I am Mark Gibson; I am seriously searching for an aupair or nanny to take care of my kids. I am divorced with two kids, I am a stock broker and due to my very busy job I need someone to take care of my kids. We live in Liverpool here in the United Kingdom. My kid’s names are Tony and Marcellina, Tony is 6years while Marcellina is 3years old.
I need an honest aupair that is why i am contacting you; I got your contact from the easyaupair site. I promise to take good care of you and make you as comfortable as possible. Please I need you to get back to me as soon as possible in other to give you more details of your job. I promise you will have the best time taking care of my kids. Waiting for your response

I am a lover of education, I will also make sure you get into any school of your choice to further your education if you want, I will pay for your education you will not have to pay for it out of your salary. As for your salary I am willing to pay you 180 Pounds per week, you will only work from Monday to Friday, my kids love spending time with my Mum during the weekends so you will not work during the weekend. You will work for 7 hours daily, I can allow a live out condition if you want, that means you can find somewhere else to live in if you feel you do not want to stay in my house. Let me know if you are OK with the salary I offered, your duties mainly will be to help in cleaning up the house and dressing the kids up for school and cooking and also making sure they are of their best behavior when I am not around. In other to start without wasting time get back to me and let me know more about you, also do you have all the necessary documents to start coming over?
