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 abbreviations 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 guidance with travel arrangements, please contact a travel agency in your own town, which you can visit in person.
Attached United Kingdom Visa Form.pdf is a real visa form, though not the correct one for somebody applying for a visa to be an au pair; and also minus the final pages which detail part of the genuine process for applying for a visa.

subject Dearest Au pair
Dear Au Pair,
We are a very warm, welcoming and open family who are looking for someone to work with our one year old son who is a real charmer and likes to be kept busy. Caleb is a very happy and social personality. We are looking for someone who will fit in well with our family and our son, and we hope that you are that person. We are looking for someone to work from the last week of August or beginning of September through to Christmas.
There are three of us: Victor (the father), Paige (the mother) and Caleb (our lovely son).
Victor is American and Paige is South African so we enjoy different traditions and are always eager to experience other cultures.
We fully appreciate and respect the need for space and privacy, but we also want to welcome the right person into our family.
We live in a pretty part of Southwest London which has great transport links into the city center and plenty of parks and commons.
* You will be required to work four weekdays, with possible baby sitting duties.
* Caleb will have a daily activity and a set daily routine.
* Light house work such as vacumming when Caleb has his daily naps.
* food preparation for Caleb's meal and cleaning up afterward.
* (We are very flexible and open to ideas and proactivity and we would appreciate the same flexibility in return).
If you are interested and ready to take this responsibility and to experience life in the UK, please contact us. Leaving home is hard for anyone but we will welcome you into our home and look after you. We are ready to pay you 300 pounds every week, which we believe is ok by you?We have also attach our family pictures,Hope you like's it.
We are looking forward to hear from you.
Awaiting your fast responds.
