Hi,
I think it is a scam as I got this verified from the Turner offices in Delhi. They counter-checked and told me that there have been many people who have paid the amount for the visa fees as asked by these guys before getting the papers. i also got the same letter of Communication from them. I would suggest that you don’t respond to these people like I did “although it is a very tempting offer;)
