It's a SCAM. Note that you are not addressed by name. Did you apply to them for a job ? I presume not. Note also near the bottom they ask you for $3000 no reputable company would do that. Real agencies get paid by the employer after the hiring takes place. Ian M

Sorry. Not only is this a scam but this is a very OLD scam, too. This letter is full of lies. -You MUST HAVE AN NMC card to practice nursing in the UK, and there is no mention of it in the letter. STRANGE! How can they possibly offer you a job? You cannot practice in the UK with a Phillipine nursing license, and it is NOT transferable. -No legitimate employment agency makes you pay up front. -NO legitmate employment agency makes you PAY FOR YOUR OWN TRAINING. Be it 3000 pesos (About $67 USD, but isn't that a lot of money there?) ******************************************************************* Beware of unsolicited job offers in other countries. You can easily end up being exploited or even kidnapped and sold into prostitution. Ian is right, they don't even address you by your name!!! "Only 20 have been selected?" Try 20 million! Mark the email as SPAM.

as well as the things the other posters spicked up there are loads of other discrepanies in this email. ONLY critical care and threatre nurses can be sponsored for a work visa in the UK at the momment. Overseas nurses have to carry out a 20 day training programme in a UK hospital before they are allowed to work in the UK. Overseas trainign does not and would not ake the palce of this or have any vailifty in the UK. No reputable business would ask you to pay using remittance cards. No reputable UK company uses free email prooviders such as live.com, yahoo, hotmail etc. There is no company called Healthcare Resume and Genesis Group Ltd is a pharmaceutical company, so it's hardly likely to be recruiting nurses. The address given for Genesis is in fact for Du Pont Far East Inc (Phillipines) who trade in motor vehciles and parts. http://telebisyon.net/Mga-Imbestigador-ng-Bayan/series/comments/
