I am in a hurry writing you this message, i don’t have much time on
the pc here, so i have to brief you my present situation which
requires your urgent response. Actually, I had a trip to Malaysia for
a program with focus on creating opportunities locally and globally
that support, educate, and empower our current and next generations,
the program is taking place in three major countries in Asia which are
Taiwan, Singapore and Malaysia. But unfortunately for me, my little
bag where my money, document’s and other valuable things got stolen at
the hotel where i lodged due to a robbery incident that happened in
the hotel. I have been so restless since last night, the present
condition that i found myself is very hard for me to explain, I am
really stranded here because i have been without any money, i am even
owing the hotel here as well, moreover the Hotel’s telephone lines
here got disconnected by the robbers and they are trying to get them
fixed back. I have access to only emails a the library because they
also took my cell phone which i have all my contacts. I am now owing a
hotel bill of $1,100 and they wanted me to pay the bill soon. I need
this help from you urgently to help me back home, I need you to help
me with the hotel bill and i will also need $1,500 to feed and help
myself back home. So please can you help me with a sum of $2,600 USD
to sort out my problems here. I am sending you this email from the
city Library, I will appreciate what so ever you can afford to send me
for now and I promise to pay back your money as soon as i return home.
