<br>
I am in a hurry writing you this mail. I traveled to UK wales for an
urgent function and i got mugged at a gun point. It was a terrible
experience. All cash and credit cards were stolen away from me. I
reported to the police they asked me to wait for 2 weeks to carry out
investigations. I am totally freaked out here.<br>
Right now, my return flight leaves 24hours from now. I am only telling
you this because i do not want you to panic at all. just keep it the
way have told you till i return back home.<br>
I am seriously having problems in settling my hotel bills which i have
to clear before i can leave the hotel to avoid further embarrassment
and to get a taxi down to the airport. Just wondering if you could loan
me 1,800Pounds to settle my bills and to get a taxi down to the
airport. I promise to pay back when i return back home today.<br>
Please you can help me send the money to my name and my present
location because i am only left with my passport to pick up the money.<br>

Name: Patrick Hanks<br>

Do let me know if you will be going to the western union outlet right
now to send the money to my name and my present location and please
dont forget to get back to me with the transfer details which is the
senders information and the MTCN number.<br>
<br>
I await your urgent response.<br>
Thanks so much and sorry to bother you.<br>
