concerning the status of your application.

I advise you to follow the instructions of the barrister and visit the
nearest western union

as possible
so that your name will be included and your visa application endorsed
before the
stipulated deadline for the enrolling of immigrants into UK for this
season which is
the beginning of next week. Get back to the barrister with the scanned
copy of the
receipt for confirmation and verification process at the Home Office.

Also, fill the Visa application form sent to you and scan it back to
the barrister
together with the receipt of the deposit. You are advised to leave any
space you do not
understand in the visa form blank. The attorney will help you fill the
information adequately.

She has already made it clear to you the purpose of the deposit and
the procedure,
which is ;

Sender's Name: Any of your relative's name

Welcome to Scamwarners.
It's a scam. The wording, representative.com email address, and request for payment by Moneygram or Western Union leave no possible doubt.
