HI, I got this email today, it's a scam (I think), the gist is, you work out a cost, he gives you a cheque for a larger sum, you give him change all urgent, last minute, then his cheque bounces. I've read about it on other threads. Beware.

"Greetings, My name is MARK COLE I am from australia . My son will be coming for an holiday in U.K and I wont want him to be less busy, so I want to know if you can always come or can he come for private lesson every afternoon. just to keep him engaged in something during his stay. I will want you to get back to me with the cost of your teaching for 2 weeks.He will be coming to your house for an hour lesson. I have someone that will always drive him down to your house. His name is Sam, He is 17 years old. I will want you to calculate 1 hour per day from Monday-Friday for the 2 weeks and get back to me so that we can arrange on payment by Cheque Looking forward to read from you."
