This is a scam, there is no real au pair position.
This is the next email. Note that the lawyer that is mentioned is fake, and a role played by the scammer.
Note that in the third email the scammer wants you to write to a fake UK home office email address, again this email address is set up by the scammer.
To make sure that au pairs who can't pay the full amount do pay part of the fees, he is sending out an email saying he has already payed part of the fees:

My house has 6 bedrooms, of which one room will be allocated to you, in that room you will have your personal TV, a desktop computer connected to the Internet so you will not miss your friends and family
During the day, you can attend any school of your choice and i will pay for you, while my kid go to his own school, and you go and pick him back from school while the both of you come home together
My kid love spending time with my Mum during the weekends so you will not work during the weekend. However as regards your flight ticket that will be handled by me and also some other relevant documents you might be needing to proceed into the UK,but you have to take care of your UK visa fees nothing much I presume.So if you agree with these terms please let me know so that I can have my lawyer issue you your contract/invitation letter and also all the necessary details on how to obtain your traveling papers.

Hello,
I will send your detail to my lawyer, to send you the contract and invitation letter to you.
He will also contact the British immigration office here in London on how you can start the process and obtain your UK visa so you can come and start working in my family .
My Wife and i have concluded that, you will work for our family, and that can only happen if you already have a London Visa and i want you to contact with the British Immigration here in London with their e mail address ([email protected]) am sure they will let you know the requirements that will be needed in getting you a Visa and also they will let you know how to go about that cos they helped our former nanny in getting all her documents easily and fast.
We will like you to tell us more about you, your mobile number and more pictures of you would be fine.
Try make sure you contact them to enable you get your visa to London.
Best wishes

Hello,
Here i attach scan copy of payment receipt of 500pounds which is the part payment for your visa fee.
I will advice you make your remaining payment of 350pounds immediately just to avoid delay, because the immigration office here in London will soon close for the year because of the Christmas holiday.
Always keep in touch.
