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.
