A guy by the name of Nathan Hemphill uses this very same letter to "recruit" au pairs. So amusing, because since I registered to become an au pair I've only ran into scams. This is number 3 that is a definite scam, the others are Kenny Dickson and Kurt Mark! Thank heavens that I stopped the money order just in time, thanks to scamwarners.
