Hi,

Quickly said, I received a very similiar invitation. The pay was for 6500 US/ month. I reponded to his offer with questions such as, 'What English level were the children at? Can you send me pictures of your town, house and family?' etc. Sounding excited- I ended this email to him with something along the lines of, ' I'm anxiously awaiting your response and in the meantime because I'm so interested in the position, I will learn more about the company you work for and visit the Nigeria High Commision that is a five minute walk away.'

If that email doesn't scare him away, I'd be willing to play a little more, asking him to send over an advance on my salary to buy English teaching materials so I could adequately teach his children over the year.
