I'll second that
I also work as a music teacher and get loads of internet enquiries along the lines of the one I've copied below. I thought it might make some of you chuckle. I think it's great how they've even left in the brackets where they must add in the specifics for what they're trying to scam.
Dear Sir/Ma,
Complement of the day. I am writing in response to your advert (Teaching) I came across while surfing through the Internet. I want you to be aware that I need a tutor for my son (Ares) for the month of April 2007. I really want my child to be taught by you. Ares is 14 year old and easily catches up. Although, I’ve arranged with my client son Nanny living there that my Son is coming to stay with her for his period of tutoring and she has agreed with me. I based in Athens, Greece, with my son, and also a nationality of Greece.. You will teach him all about (Music,flute), which I want him to learn, also I want you to teach him for 2 hours in a
day.
1. CHARGES FOR AN HOUR THAT I WILL BE PAYING YOU IS FIFTY (£50) PER
HOUR.
2. YOU WILL TEACH HIM 3 TIMES IN A WEEK (MONDAY, WEDNESDAY AND FRIDAY)
3. TOTAL CHARGES FOR 1 MONTH FEE WILL BE, ONE THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED GBP (£1,200.00)
I contacted my son concerning the arrangement of the tutoring which he told me is ok by him and I want you to know that I am going to pay for 1 Month which is £1,200.00, also I want you to know that my client in Europe will issue you a cheque of £4,600.00, which you will deduct your fees, and then send the rest, which will be used for my son flight to your location and any other arrangement. If you agree with these terms, get back to me with the following details for payment:
Your full name...???

All these in which I would forward to my client in Europe to issue
out
