I too saw an ad on craigslist for a tutoring position. And the person
told me the following:

Thanks for replying back to my online job posting, requiring your
tutorial service,I would like to make a tutoring arrangement between
you and my 10 year old son for the month of july 2009, I would like
you to tutor him within a period of 1 month, on a schedule basis of
1hr Daily, 5 times weekly, totaling 20 times in a month. I am willing
to pay $50/hr. I would like to use these medium to inform you that my
son does not live in US, he would be flying from london,United
Kingdom,I want you to teach him during his 1 month stay in the US, if
there is need to extend your services, an ammedment would be made to
your salary and you will be notified. He would be dropped off/picked
up by his nanny during the hours of teaching at any location you want
the Tutoring to take place in your area.I will send you my US
cashiers check of $3650 which i bought the last time i came to the
US.I will write the check payable to your name so you could cash it
at your bank.I am sending you the check because i spent all the cash
i have on the hospital bill of my father. The cashiers check is for
U.S which is cashable at your bank and its not cashable here in UK,
The check will be for the cost of the tutorial services you are
rendering and the flight ticket of my son's Nanny.Regarding this I
hope i can trust you with these payments,As soon as you receive the
check, take it to the bank and cash it,deduct your payment which
should be $50 per hour X 20 Times a Month = $1000,Then send the
balance of the money to my son's Nanny through western union money
transfer,My sons nanny will be contacting you later with further
arrangements and instructions regarding pickup/drop off of my son to
the venue where you would always teach him. So i hope i can trust you
that you will teach my son good academics.i hope i can count on you
for the tutorial and the money to be sent to the Nanny for her flight
ticket.
Email me your name,address and phone number so that i can write the
cheque payable to your name and send to you as soon as possible.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Thanks

Dave
