    Dear XXXX .,

    We acknowledge the receipt of your employment file from HESS with request for Home Office Clearance.

    The UK Government has made it mandatory that every expatriate employee traveling to the UK must posses these clearance documents before visa/permits papers will be granted to him/her.

    We have outlined our requirements for both single and family application depending on your choice of entry. For single application, you are required to provide us with the below requirements:

    1. A Photo Passport
    2. Full contact house address
    3. Scan copy of International Passport Number/Scan Copy of National Identity Card/Drivers License
    4. Scan copy of your signed job offer letter
    5. Payment Receipt of Home Office fees: £930 GBP

    For family application, which allows the maximum of four(4) family members, the requirements are as follows:

    1. Passport Photo of each family member
    2. Full contact house address
    3. Scan copy of International Passport of each family member
    4. Scan copy of your signed job offer letter
    5. Payment Receipt of Home Office fees: £1,490 GBP

    The Home Office fees should be paid via Western Union Money Transfer or Money Gram International using the following receiving details:

    Receiver's Name: Owen Milner

    These requirements should be sent to your employer (HESS) within 7 days as we expect to receive the printed copies through fax or submitted directly to our office.

    It's a scam, sorry to have to tell you this...do not proceed.
    Sending money through western union & moneygram, is the immediate giveaway.

    Cor blimey................

    They are getting professional lately.............

    100% bona fide scam, as already suggested.

    Just ignore it, and don't be tempted to send money as it will be lost....
