I hope you are well, we had a bank holiday here so we went to my parents house for along weekend, so I was not able to get in touch with you, hopefully will talk to you tomorrow evening after work, the kids are off school this week as we have half term here. I dont have skype I am afraid, I have attached 2 pics of my boys.
Thank you for you photos.

I hope you are well, I really do aplogise for not being in touch, our phone at home has decided to breakdown, and I bought a calling card to try and call you from my work place but the phones here are restricted for UK only, I am unsuccesfull here. I will see if I can find a telephone booth or better still my husband will buy a phone and we can be in touch, I hope you are still interested.

I can run the responsibilities breifly:

make sure my little one gets to school equipped with clean uniform and lunch pack,
general tidying, typical housechores
ensuring they do their homework
give them dinner after school
ironing the kids clothes
please note the list above does not contain all the responsibilities

We will never need you at the weekends, Abingdon town is quiet, but pretty , people are friendly, a short bus journey into Oxford city, surrounded by beautiful english countryside, good links to London and Birmingham,

Please do reply and let me know if you are still interested,

Kindest regards,

They are not typical scam mails, but the account of the inability to telephone is not very believable.

I think that we will need to see the headers of the emails in order to investigate this further. If you are not certain how to access the headers of emails (they are a 'hidden' part of all emails), please state which email provider you are using (eg Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo) and someone will then be able to tell you how to find the headers.

In the meantime, please remember: never send money to any agency, embassy, lawyer, or other person introduced to you by a potential host family. No genuine family will ask you to send any money, for whatever reason, not even to yourself, or to a friend or relative, and nor will a genuine family ask you to open a new bank account.
