----------------------------------------------------------------
Hello Dear,

I am Mathew Bowen,i saw your profile on mydearaupair.com and i found your profile interesting. I am a Banker by profession and my Wife is a Medical Doctor, we live together with our 4lovely boys, Terry is 5yrs and Alex is 6yrs,Mark is 3yrs and david is a baby and as you know there are a lot of achievement in United kingdom and you will be treated as part of the family from the minute you arrive, we also have a laundry man in our house hold living in our pool house, at the back. My children are fun loving, playful and a little hectic at times, they like playing video games, football. My children are very intelligent but plays a lot that's why i need them to be a bit more busy studying some foreign language, (French, Dutch, either)piano classes, for at least 2hrs a day 3times a week after their afternoon Nap, To go to the swimming pool, park, etc. And to play with them.I will be paying you 2000 Pounds per month and you will also get 200 Pounds as pocket money every week.You will work around 4 or 5 hours per day, no more. From Monday to Saturday. Our family is a little hectic at times but fun loving, and energetic as well, The Au pair would be required to bath the kids in the mornings only, and also take them to school and bringing them back, Monday to Friday (Au pair/nanny that could drive is okay, we have available a car that can be used) although the school is about 600meters from our home, its a walking distance for me, , The Au pair will have access to the internet and a television and video in his/her room. You will have his/her own double room with suite shower facilities. I would expect the Au pair to work for 25-30hrs per week Mon-Fri with weekends off you can start doing some other things here in UK as you will have your working permit as soon as I'm okay with you u will have to do some housework.

Till i hear from you.

Hi Alexandra16,

Yes it is a scam. One sure sign is that the "travel agent" is meant to be arranging your visa. Visas to the UK can only be arranged by the person the visa is for in person at the British Embassy or Consulate in their country.

Alan

thank you:)
