That's a scam. 4470 numbers are free ones that redirect calls to another phone anywhere in the world. So they are widely used by scammers pretending to be British. The emails weren't written by a native English speaker, and no government department uses free email addresses such as live.co.uk.

Thanks a lot for help ....I will be cautious by search of work

Would you edit out your email addresses so scammers can't find it again. See this posT on a similar matter.

Pity it's a scam as I'd love to see a copy of a Scottish Visa! If you get my meaning.
