My Husband is a medical doctor enjoys Sports but he is always busy in
the office and he is a very hard working person, I am a bank manager
meanwhile my Daughter likes visiting the park, playing with her car
toys. We live in a four bedroom detached house in the
Chelsea area of London. Kelly goes to a local school and you are to
drop her at school and get her back from school, a car will be made
available for you if you are willing to drive or learn how to drive, I
promise you as your host mother that you will stay comfortably with
our family because we are a Christian family.
There is a nice English Class around our area, also there other Au
pairs living around our area you will have the time to attend to an
English Lesson and the cost will be taken care by my family if you are
willing. When would you like to start work if given the privilege?

I would like to receive your cv and recent picture for perusal and show it to my husband
for approval; do you have any contact number?

I want to make everything move in a normal and legal way without any
problem because this is our first experience of hosting an Au pair. I
wouldn't want anything that will hurt my daughter and I have promise to
be a good mum to her so that she will grow happily, please all we want
from you is to take good care of her, take her like your sister, your
friend, play with her and teach her some good cultural exchange.

It is definitely a scam.

Besides the pay (which is way too high) the writing tells me that the author of those emails is African, not British. The scammer also makes several mistakes that tell me he is certainly not a parent in UK!
