Do u think it's a scam?

Hello,
I saw your email and description on the web.Then I see you are capable of assisting my son throughout his stay overthere, so,I decided to contact you via emai.He will be staying there for 3month and will arrive on Aprill15th.Kindly get back to me so we can discuss better.
Thanks as I await your reply

He his actually coming there to seal up a business transaction on my behalf with my business partners there.(1) I need you to take him around on his leisure time so he won't feel boring (2) You will help him in area of translation as my business partner overthere don't understand much english.I will need you to be with him for 6hours per day ok,Kindly tell me your fee in $ DOLLAS for a week so I can have a low down of what the fee will be for that three months.
Best Regards
Mike Anderson

Am ok with the fee and i will be paying you for the first two weeks ok.Nevertheless,send to me your name,address and phone number so that i can forward it to my colleague to issue and send you the check immediately.I sold my toyota camry for $3500 I will instruct him to send the money to you which will cover the fee,so as soon as you receive the check,kindly deduct your payment and send the remaining funds to the housing agent through western union money transfer which they will use to secure him an accommodation overthere.Hope i can trust you with my remaining funds to the housing agent
I await your mail .
Thanks and God bless you.
Mike Anderson
