I just got this today. Can you believe this? 6500USD a month?? Is anyone going to believe that it's true? Sounds like they want to kidnap you.

Dear applicant
My name is Hernan Andres Blanco and I am married to Kelly. We are from
Santiago Chile working and residing in Nigeria on contract for Novas oil company a Multinational Oil and Gas Company with headquaters in the USA.
My wife and son are not really good when it comes to speaking English
hence we require an ESL Teacher to come and spend One year with us. You
would teach my wife and my 2(Two)Children Autumn and Gabe who are 5 and 3 years how to speak English and some writing too. This is very important to me hence I would be offering to pay you US$6500 every month.
You would have a Private Live-Out or Live-InAccomdation depending on
your preference with Private Bathroom, SittingRoom and Bedroom. Your room
would also be furnished with a TelevisionSet, an Internet Ready
Computer System and a Fixed Landline telephone. If you can drive, you can let
us know so that we can arrange a vehicle that you would use.
You would take them in English Classes every evening. You would also
have the weekends off .Weekends with us is very fun as we visit fun
spots, go sightseeing and amusement parks. Do not worry about your travel
arrangements as we would assist you in that regards when the time comes.
Please write me on my personal e mail address [email protected] and also send in your cv for evaluation.
Contact Via Phone: 234 805 901 0234.
Thanks.
Engr and Mrs Hernan Andres Blanco.
I hope to hear from you in soonest.

Yes, there is a discussion somewhere about exactly this scam. To get the job you have to send someone some cash to process your visa application blah blah blah...bin it or reply and have some fun wasting the guy's time.
