Any time someone tells you to contact a travel agent in the country you're traveling to for a visa or work permit, it is a scam. Travel agents do not issue visas or work permits.

The email shows indications of having been written by a West African. The email from Kate is quite obviously West African.

The number beginning +44-70 is a redirect. Legitimate businesses do not use such numbers. Scammers use them to pretend to be in the UK when they are not.

Legitimate businesses do not ask for payment by MoneyGram. It's a scam.

Drop all contact with the scammer and don't tell him why.

Oh thank you for your advice. Now I am enlightened about this..just now, I received her message asking for my payment for the processing. And she told me that she has paid the working visa fee today.
Now that Im aware of this, I will immediately drop off my communication with her. I'm very thankful for your advices, this helped me a lot because I am very much interested about her offer..better that I sensed something isn't right about her. And that made me becomes suspicious. Once again, thank you very much!
