This is an email from the fake barrister. The Confirmation/Proof of Sufficient Funds is bogus - the genuine UK Home Office never requests that proof of sufficient funds is made in this way. If money is transfered by Western Union or MoneyGram as instructed by this scammer, the scammer will use the transfer information to collect the money himself - regardless of the names entered on the transfer form.
