This email came in from one of my former work managers… It wasn’t him. I knew it by the writing style and word choice and well, that it happened at all to be honest, as soon as I saw it but others may not figure it out so fast…
Hi, I really don’t mean to inconvenience you right now but I made a quick
trip to London UK this past weekend and had my bag stolen from me in
which contains my passport and credit cards. I know this may sound odd,
but it happened very fast. I’ve been to the US embassy and they’re
willing to help me fly without my passport but I just have to pay for my
ticket and settle some bills. Right now I’m out of cash plus i can’t
access my bank without my credit card here, I’ve made contact with them
but they need more verification. I was thinking of asking you to lend me
some funds now and I’ll pay back as soon as I get home. I need to get on
the next available flight.
Please reply as soon as you can if you are ok with this so i can forward
the details as to where to send the funds. You can reach me via May field
hotel’s desk phone if you can, the numbers are, 011447024051771 or
011447024043668
