Your room would be prepared and catered for you before your arrival. It is important to let you know that this job offer is an urgent one.
I am a busy woman and all i want is to have someone who can look out for my kids and take good care of them as i am not always available for them and owing to the fact that their father is very busy man.. i travel a lot and sometimes they are left alone with strangers so i decided that if we had someone who would be always with us as a family in the home when i am gone for a trip the kids can therefore have someone to cater for them. so i am so delighted that you have agreed to come and be with my family and please i will advise that when you are here you should put in the best of behavior in order not to make a fool of my family because i hate arrogant manners, if you are good then you will be like a family to us.
All documents needed for your traveling down here would be made ready in two weeks by A reliable travel agent who is our family travel agent , This i can assure you, i have spoken to the agent and he has told me that the age will never be a problem. Over the years he has worked for me so i allow only him to prepare any of my travel documents.
you can live with my family as long as you desire, as long as you are of good conduct. I used to have a house keeper called blair from France, she moved out some months ago to settle with her husband. your duties are to take care of the house, and manage all affairs when i am not around,prepare meals and take care of kids and my home business when am away from home. my children are absolutely fine and no allergies.
I will want you to get back to me with the following information below...the kids are intelligent and nice. All I want you to do is to take good care of them and be a good example to them, also i need someone trustworthy, honest and has experience working with kids because I will not be at home with them and they will be staying alone with you sometimes due to the nature of my job. Please i need seriousness with this job offer as the attention of aupair is urgently needed. Like i said you and i will settle all the travel document fee needed to travel down here, and please do not fool me as i want to trust you so much as God sent to my family.
It interests me to let you know that you can decide to take some other kind of job if necessary and at the same time attend lessons for any form of program, I promise that you will enjoy staying with my family, I already like you without even seeing you..lol..
A good sense of humor is essential and you will be treated as part of the family from the minute you arrive.
the kids likes outdoor games and our family is a little demanding at times but fun loving and energetic. as soon as you arrive you will have access to the internet,television,video and access to cable channels in your room.you will have your own double room with separate bath and shower facilities. I would expect you to work for 35hrs per week Mon-Fri with weekends off. You can start doing some other things by the time you are here, as soon as I'm good with you,
We live in the UK, like i said your services are needed quite urgently,everything concerning your travel documents,working permit,residential permit and health insurance and all other vital documents would be efficiently done withing two weeks by Agent Calvin Wright Jr who i talked earlier. I share your view about getting into the UK legally. I want you to have all the necessary papers you need to come to come down here within the shortest space of time, in two weeks.

Greetings from my family and I we expect you down here soon.
Take care of your self till i hear from you.

If an an au pair states that s/he cannot afford to pay the requested fee, it is usual for a scammer to pretend that they will share the cost. The scammer is not really paying anything, because the agency (or other person or organisation) is fake, and the fee has been invented. The scammer pretends to pay part of the invented fee (a) to increase the au pair's trust and belief in the fake host family; and (b) because if the scammer cannot steal the full amount hoped for from the au pair, then he will steal however much (or little) the au pair can afford to send.

Hello Dear xxxxx,
got your email and i promise you will never regret working with my family.
Hope you are doing great today.
I want to let you know that doing the whole payment is a difficult task for my family right now. i want you to know that with all sincerity i can not shoulder the whole expenses because right now my family has a lot to pay for concerning your trip down here to the UK. I have to pay insurance, and so much more and this will cost so much for me too. I also have other expenses including that the kids and the final proceeding into the purchase of our new house,where we all will be living in is to be finalized in two weeks too and so i have been spending a lot of money to the lawyer and doing so many clearances with the government, I am so fond of you already and I know my family will like you too. kindly send some of your pictures to me.
I want you to honestly tell me how much money you can afford from the fee, i will complete the rest. With warm care I indulge you to write back to me and tell me how much you can lay your hands on before Monday next week so the agent can commence with the processing of your travel document as you know i want you here before the end of this month everything is possible if we plan fast.
I shall not deduct anything from your salary i just want to help you. The agency will take care of the documents because of time factor. All will be duly done by them within a short time. If you can afford half of it which is $750 then i am sure we can do the rest and by the end of this month you can come down to join my family as one big family.
Get back to me urgently, make sure you make a scanned copy of your passport and send it to me asap that's if you have one already. I also want you to send pictures of yourself too.

Warm Regards
Sandra Shember
