I received an exact same letter from an Edmundo Teodoro, who refered me to his Lawyer, Nicholas Macpherson. I had asked Mr. Teodoro a copy of his passport (which he sent) and for a reference and he supplied me with Mr. Macpherson's email address. When the character reference was returned to me without any contact info., I checked his name on the net and found this Scam report. The deposit for 900GBP for 1st month maintenance checks out with UK immigration, and neither men have asked me for any money up front.
What to do?

Dear ,
I have the agreement contract attached to this email for your review. After your review and you like the contract terms and conditions, I need you to sign, scan and email a copy of the signed agreement to me for my records.
Once I have it, I will have my attorney contact you and he will let you know of the steps and procedure you have to follow in getting the working permit approved.
Clause 9 in the contracts states that you need to make a deposit of 900GBP. This is towards the processing of your working permit. Your work permit need to be approved here in England before you can apply for a work visa. This is a deposit and it will be claimed back by you upon your arrival to England. My attorney will explain it more to you once I have the signed contract and I have him contact you.
Thank you and hope to receive a copy of the signed agreement from you soon.
Edmondo Teodoro.

Dear ,
Thank you for the email and information. However, I will be buying the ticket for you and I hope that you do not have any problem with it. I will talk to my attorney and he is the one to get the tickets for you. So if you want your wife to be in the same carrier with you, you let him so that he can get the tickets booked for the both of you and he let you know the price for that of your wife and then you can shoulder the price for your wife's ticket, but if you don't want to be in the same carrier with your wife, he can go ahead and book only that of your own.
Thank you,
Chef. Dario.

Hello ,
I have attached the flight information I was able to find, which is the cheapest fare from my side. Dario said it is OK with him. I will be making the payment for you, and from your own side, you can purchase the ticket for you wife or since Dario has agreed to pay half of your wife's fare, you can send half of your wife's flight fare to me and I can get the ticket for the both of you. The half of the fare is 534.15USD.
Keep me informed.
Nick Macpherson.
