It's a scam.

The English tells me the writer is African. The phone number starting with 4470 is a redirect phone number--whenever you see one of these numbers in a job offer, you can be sure it is a scam, as these numbers are used by scammers who are not in UK but are pretending to be there.

Could you please post the email address this scammer is using?

I am almost certain it is a scam.

re: the phone number 4470318411932
A typical 4470 re-direct number that is supposed to appear like a UK number, but in reality is not.

Ben Family <[email protected] ran a similar scam letter using the exact same phone number on 19th March 2011
Then another report here, dated 11 Feb 2011. Does the phone number look familiar?

I know it is not the good news you were seeking. Please do not contact the scammer/s.
