the first e-mail i got
Hello ,
My name is Dr Patrick Garry and my wife's name is Mrs Simson Garry. I'm a American but married to an English woman. We are a happily married couple blessed with two lovely and wonderful daughter kids, Clara and Hannah. Clara is 3 years old while Hannah is 18 months old.I am a medical Microbiologist and I work with the World Health Organization(WHO) and have been working with them here in London for over 9 years now but I will be resuming my official duties in Asia by July but will want my family to remain in London. My wife works in a bank in the city of London and by the nature of her work she spends more time at work. I do spend more time with the kids since my work allows me to do that. But by end ofJune/July 2009 I will not be in the UK any longer rather I will be posted to the World Health Organization(Asia region) where i will now be working. And as a result of this, our daughters will need someone to take good care of them and their needs since their mother spends most of the time at work during weekdays and always only have weekends to give them good attention. We came across your profile on Great nannies and we were convinced that you possess the qualities capable of taking good care of our daughters in the absence of both us.
Your duties are always linked to childcare and light housework. This include taking the children to / from school; helping them get ready in the morning; amusing and supervising them until the parents come home; tidying the toys away; preparing their meals and clearing up after the mealtimes. You will have your Private Room which will have bathroom, toilet, television, air-Conditioner/heater. You will have access to the internet and a telephone at home should in case you want to get in touch with your family or friends . And very importantly,we have both decided to treat you as a family member and not as an employee. Your weekdays working hours will be 5 hours maximum per day. You will have Saturdays and Sundays as your off days since their mother does not go to work weekends and this should enable you have enough time for yourself and enroll for special programs if you wish to. As for your salary, we intend to pay you 3,200 Pounds every 4 weeks and a pocket fee of 300 Pounds weekly so as to enable you engage yourself in any programs that can add more values to your life while you stay with us.
I look forward to hearing from you and more so coming over to the UK and live as a member of our family as soon as possible. I, on behalf of my wife and my wonderful daughters wish you the best in your present endeavours over there in your country and we are also waiting to embrace you with the warmth, love and most importantly the peace that your heart always desires. Attached are some of my family pictures for your pleasurable viewing
Patrick and Simson Garry
Best wishes

Hello Stefanie
Like I mentioned to you in my previous mail, I have been using the services of Royal Travel for close to six years and so far I do not have any regrets. They have been in charge of my family travel needs. Whenever we want to go on tour and vacations during summer anywhere in the world, they always organize that and their services so far have been satisfactory. One thing I can categorically assure you of is that with them handling your travel needs, your safety and security is guaranteed. That is their job, they organize cruises, tours, vacations, ticketing, hotel reservations,visas, work permits and stuffs like that both locally here in the UK and Internationally. Just be rest assured that whatever you put in their custody is safe and secured, so you do not have to get worried about you personal information and money because it will be used for purposes meant. As regards their website http://www.royaltravel.com, I also visited there seems to be nothing mentioning au pair contract management which is true. Royal Travel just launched the cultural agency arm about 3 and the half years ago. They are caregoricaly known both locallyand internationaly for offering complete travel services such as organising of tours, vacations, cruises,ticketing, reservations, travel documents processing and other travel related matters but I just want to assure you that the cultural agency arm is one of their youngest departments and it exists, its real and they will be overseeing the contract. The salary that I have offered you is 3200 pounds and not 2200 pounds. The agency must have a typogrphical error.

Hello Stefanie
Like I mentioned to you in my previous mail, I have been using the services of Royal Travel for close to six years and so far I do not have any regrets. They have been in charge of my family travel needs. Whenever we want to go on tour and vacations during summer anywhere in the world, they always organize that and their services so far have been satisfactory. One thing I can categorically assure you of is that with them handling your travel needs, your safety and security is guaranteed. That is their job, they organize cruises, tours, vacations, ticketing, hotel reservations,visas, work permits and stuffs like that both locally here in the UK and Internationally. Just be rest assured that whatever you put in their custody is safe and secured, so you do not have to get worried about you personal information and money because it will be used for purposes meant. As regards their website http://www.royaltravel.com, I also visited there seems to be nothing mentioning au pair contract management which is true. Royal Travel just launched the cultural agency arm about 3 and the half years ago. They are caregoricaly known both locallyand internationaly for offering complete travel services such as organising of tours, vacations, cruises,ticketing, reservations, travel documents processing and other travel related matters but I just want to assure you that the cultural agency arm is one of their youngest departments and it exists, its real and they will be overseeing the contract. The salary that I have offered you is 3200 pounds and not 2200 pounds. The agency must have a typogrphical error.
