Hello,

I'm very sorry to bother you with this email, I'm currently in the UK to attend an unexpected impromptu program. I'm in London and upset at the moment because I'm in a terrible predicament.

I got mugged on my way to the Hotel coming from the session i was attending and thereby loosing my funds and valuables. I'll like you to assist me with a loan of $2,400 to sort-out Hotel bills and for departure.

Please let me know if you can be of any help. I promise to make arrangements for refunds with immediate effect when i return. please i will like you to keep this discreet

Regards

Anna
