Hey guys,

I received this e-mail from "Brenda Sousa" living in London:

"Hello Aupair,

I am Mrs Brenda Sousa, 38 Years Old from United Kingdom I work with Multimedial Consultant in United Kingdom and I don't usually stay home unless during weekends. I live in, Acton Lane London London, W4 W4 5LY. I will like you to know that I have just two kids which names are Philip and Linda and there ages are 3 years and 5 years old.I want an Aupair nanny for them because they are the only one left at home after their Father divorced me for another woman.

Your duties will be taking the kids to school and bringing them back home, play with them, go to museums, playground, watching movies, prepare/serving their snacks and foods. You will have your Private Room which will have Bathroom, Toilet, Television, Air-Conditional. You will have access to the Internet and a Telephone at home to get in touch with your friends and loved ones. You will be having Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays as your off days, so to enable you have enough time for yourself. As for your salary, I will be paying you 1,100 Pounds every 4 weeks and a pocket fee of 250 Pounds weekly which I suppose should be Okay by you and as regard to my family picture, my scanner is currently bad. I will try to go to the cyber cafe so I can get it scanned then email them to you Okay...

I hope to read from you soon.

It seemed ok first and she wanted to pay all my flight expenses, but when I wrote her that I haven't got money to send her to pay at least a little piece of these expenses, she never wrote me again.

So I think this is a fake. It would be better not to answer her if you get the same e-mail.
