New scam targeting T'ai Chi, martial arts teachers and similar professionals

Watch out for this kind of thing, this is the second I have received this month and it's totally bogus. I imagine it's some cheque cashing scheme, from my last one's emails, that seemed where it was heading. Full text of today's email below.

Hello,
I'm Christian Cottman, During my search for a lesson teacher that would help in taking my daughter (Sarah). During is stay in the Country. I found your advert and it is very okay to me since you specialize in the area I'm seeking for her. My daughter would be coming to your area for holiday, and i will want her to get something doing when she arrives in the area. I'll like to know if you can help in taking her for the lesson? just to keep her busy. Sarah is 18 years old, she is a beginner, she has not experienced much but she is a very fast learner and will not portray any difficulties while you coaching/teaching her.Like i sad, i have someone that will always picks her up and drops her off for her lessons. So kindly let me know your charges cost per hour/lesson in order for me to arrange for her payment before she travels down to your side.

She will be staying there for 6 weeks.
