This scam mail was not really sent from the USA; it was sent from Nigeria, as proven by the IP address: 41.184.16.38 - Lagos, Nigeria.

If you are looking for an au pair position in the USA, please read these US Government webpages about the US Au Pair Program:

http://j1visa.state.gov/participants/how-to-apply/

Do not send money to any agency, embassy, lawyer, or other person introduced to you by a potential host family.
