It does sound like a scam but the organisation exists: http://www.frhsindia.org/html/boardmembers.html
He is not listed as a member of management but that does not mean he doesn't work for them. Maybe you should contact the Foundation?

I looked into that too but thought he could've just plucked out an existing organisation to add credibility to his enquiry.
It was the line about:
"Our abroad sponsor will issue a certified cheque to you for our total
payment.please let me know if you accept cheque payment".
that really made the alarm bells ring for me.
We're booked then anyway.
It seems very much like a cut and paste job that's gone to a whole bunch of people - i.e. with the use of the words 'our facility' - covers a multitude of properties.
