Hi
Just hoping this email reaches you well, I'm sorry for this emergency but I just have to let you know my present predicament. I made an urgent trip to Madrid, Spain. Everything was fine until I was attacked on my way back to the hotel, I wasn't hurt but I lost my money, bank cards, mobile phone and my bag in the course of this attack. I immediately contacted my bank in order to block my cards and also made a report at the nearest police station. I've been to the embassy and they are helping me with my documentation so i can fly out but I'm urgently in need of some money to pay for my hotel bills and my flight ticket home, will PAY BACK as soon as i get back home.
Kindly let me know if you would be able to help me out so I can forward you the details required for a wire transfer. I will expect your response soon.
The person whose email it is is safely at home and tired of people phoning her about this...
