Hello,
Beware this letter is going around the net, it usually drops a popular coaches name as well
"I'm sorry I didn't inform anyone about my trip to London, United Kingdom. Unfortunately I was mugged at gun point, at the hotel park am staying. My mobile phone, cash and credit card was stolen but luckily for me I still have my passport. I was able to make contact with the UK Police and directed to the Consulate, but they seems to be taking things too slow. My flight leaves in few hrs from now, and am having problems settling the hotel bills. I already suggested to postpone the bills but the hotel management insisted I should contact my family & friends at home to send funds my way to settle bills and also have extra money to return home. Please get back to me asap.
Thanks,"
Just a heads up

Coach could you possibly PM me the supposed name of who it was from, I have a feeling someone here had their email hacked. I want to let him know.

I deleted it right away, and it was over a month ago. I no longer have access to my deleted emails. If i get it again, I will be sure to email it to you, but the letter was just as you said, has to be the same

It always makes me feel important when a Nigerian prince has time to drop me an email asking for help...
