This is a scam; the au pair position does not exist, and the barrister is also fake.
The writer of these emails is not in the UK; he is located in Nigeria, as shown by his IP addresses:
41.206.27.111 - Calabar, Nigeria
41.206.27.171 - Calabar, Nigeria
83.143.14.51 - Calabar, Nigeria
The telephone numbers given in these emails all begin with +4470. These are not normal UK telephone numbers; they are 'redirect' numbers, redirecting all calls to the scammer's mobile phone in Nigeria.
