About Our Family

We are a couple with 2 kids living here in the UK.The kids are easy going and relaxed they would enjoy someone with lots of
energy and enthusiasm. Having English as a first language is not
required. We only seek an Au pair for basic child care and light
housework. If you accept to take a position with us, you would be paid
the sum of £450 (Four Hundred and Fifty pounds sterling) weekly.
Hence we will do anything that would motivate the intending au pair to
put in the best in taking care of our children.You shall have a private accommodation with furnished sitting room,bedroom, a private bathroom and a fixed land phone and an Internet ready computer.
We will direct our lawyer to send you a contract and invitation letter as we have decided to hire you.
We shall discuss travel arrangements in due course.We hope our conditions will suit you.
Send us an email as regards your acceptance
Best Regards.

The originating IP of this email is 41.217.2.8, which leads to Nigeria.

The scam here will probably be that they need you to pay fees for a work visa and other documentation.

Undisclosed recipients will mean that your email address was place in the BCC field. It is probably there with a few hundred other people's too.
