I just received an unusual e-mail from this same guy, did a Google, and found your discussion. Apparently this dude is representing himself as the owner of a college. I just received my Master's degree in Music, and am taking my first teaching post in January, so I thought perhaps it could be legitimate, but I wondered how this guy would know about that (I still do). Anyway, here's the e-mail he sent me:
Hello,

My name is Mr Roberto wase,the owner of kingsprivate school located in chiacago.we lost two of our teachers last month in a car accident.right now we are urgently in need of a music and a mathematics teacher. we will like to know if you can work with us for two months? all we will need from you is your CV or if you can give us references of where you have worked before. we will take care of every traveling expenses. we will also like to know the amount you think we can pay you for two months.pls do get back as soon as you get this message so that we can work things out asap. i will be traveling to the uk any time this week. you can reach me on this number if you have any question: 7738784770 and if am not there to pick your call pls drop a message or send me an email on my personal email address roberto_wase@yahoo.co.uk

thank you .

Roberto wase.

The poor grammer, punctuation, spelling errors and lowercase surnames gave it away as suspicious, which is why I googled him. Anyway, it's interesting.
