Hello Dear,
How are you doing today?

It was nice to get to hear from you,i liked the way you expressed your self, so we have considered hiring you for your services as soon as possible.
However as regards your flight expenses that will be handled by my family and also some other relevant documents you might be needing to proceed over
legally, I will arrange for an immigration attorney that will write a contract agreement letter that we both we have to sign and date on the contract letter for future purpose. Let me know if you are okay with it.

We live in Essex London and you will have your own private accommodation in our home

Let me tell you a little bit more about my family,

We are down to earth people not arrogant, we respect our employee’s opinion very much, my kids (Kimberly 5yrs and James 3yrs )are the most adorable things on the face of the earth i love them so much and so will you I hope. We are also easy going people my family and I.
We are Active family who travel extensively and entertain guests often. Light housework - if any - as we have a cleaning service weekly. We are most comfortable .
I leave for work early in the morning 7.30am, my kids both attend the same school they leave at 8.30am come back by 1.00pm.

Your main duty is the due care of Kimberly & James. You will be required to get them ready for the day, get them to school, collect them after school and see to their needs in the afternoon. You will also be required to assist with homework, bath and change as required, arrange visits with friends, see to after school activities, play games .You will be required to do some cleaning and we will need your services as soon as possible.


Best wishes
Bryson for the family.

Hello Dear,
My family and i appreciate your kindwords however my little girl was asking me today when is there au pair coming over to take care of them
I told her pretty soon she was very happy so she asked me to buy her flower so she can present it to you on your arrival to United Kingdom.
Hope you like flowers?

However i have made arrangement with immigration attorney that will arrange a contract agreement letter that will both we sign and date on
the contract before your arrival to United Kingdom .You have to contact the attorney to enable him issue you the contract
letter. My wife and i will take care of your flight ticket, the only payment you would be required to make is the Work permit fee. Contact
him via e-mail immediately ([email protected]).

I will be waiting to read your e-mail.

Regards
Bryson for the family

The attorney is also fake, and is part of the scam.

With respect to the requirements and certifications and other supporting documents to be acquired, we wish to inform you of the Department of Expatriate Resources (DER) requirements which states that all expatriates who intend to work in the UK must have attained all DER Certifications in various categories with respect to their contract engagements. Vaccination would be carried out at the port of entry into the country and it is advisable to present all documents on procurement as that would enable the authorities vested with the duty to carry out the vaccinations; administer their duties.

The DER Certifications will have to embrace the registration and approval of your relevant information with the designated local agencies (Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Commerce and industry respectively with DER inclusive).

The reason for the review of this policy as communicated by the DER is to ensure that expatriates with Letter of Contract do not have to travel down to the UK for any other reason other than the primary aim of commencement of work as required.

2) Flight Ticket will be Paid by your employer (Mr Bryson)

in relevant categories - ?200 (to be paid by your employer)

Please note that the cost of the Prepaid Flight Tickets has been undertaken by your employer.

This will enable us commence and finalize all your necessary work permit and registration of documents as we need to reach out to our contact for immediate procurement of your visa from your country and other supporting documents in record time.

As a result of time constraint for expatriates owing to the Work Commencement Date, all payments for permits which is ?200 are to be made via Western Union Money Transfer in care of our Accountant;

Receiver: Mr. Steve Mcginley
Payout Location: Dorset House Stamford Street London UK.

Go to the nearest bank or post office and indicate your intention of sending a Western Union Money Transfer , Provide them with the details above, and then proceed to scan, attach and send receipt via e mail to us informing us that the transfer has been remitted.

This would enable us initiate procurement of requisite documents which should be through by next week if we receive payment on time after which documents (Hard Copy Agreement Letter, Prepaid Flight Tickets) would be packaged and sent to you via DHL Speed Delivery to enable you proceed to the British embassy in your country to procure your visa as soon as possible, in order to travel down to your duty location to resume duties in record time. Indicate in your response, convenient hours to receive package on procurement to enable us make appropriate adjustments with DHL

Documents should be expected within five working days on confirmation of payment information. You will be required to scan and send immediately,

1. Payment information below in
subsequent correspondence

2. Scanned Completed Application Form which is attached herewith
