Subject: WANT A NANNY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

Hello Au pair,

I am Wilson Hogan and i am in need of a nanny because our nanny had to go back to her country cos her mother was very sick and her attention was needed, i got your email address on an aupair site, read your profile and i think you are just the perfect nanny we are looking for to be taking care of our kids for us.

We have two kids Diane and Joe, Diane is 2 while Joe is 4 years old, i work at Elvis Insurance Company as the Manager and my Wife works at Nat west bank, we close very later from work and ever since our nanny left our kids have been staying with my mother and she stays about 2 hours drive but we will like our kids to be staying with us and that is why i am contacting you to know if you are interested in taking care of our kids for us while we are off to work, we stay in London on York Street and here is our address 253 Berkeley street, Westminster, London,

You will be staying with us so you don't have to worry about where you will be staying when you get here cos we leave in a big house that has lots of rooms and i am sure you will like our place and also your room, you will be having all the privacy you want so you have nothing to worry about, and about payment we will be paying you 700 pounds every week and that does not include you taxes cos we will be taking care of that and you will be free on Saturday's and Sunday's and you can go anywhere you like,

I will be more than happy to have you working for us and i will be waiting to read your reply to know if you are ready to work for us.

Regards,
Wilson & Family
