Thank you very much for your prompt response and also your willingness to help me out of here, i would be so grateful if you attend to my situation as soon as possible, we are lucky to have our life and passports with us it would have been worse if they had made away with our passport. Though, i had a deep cut on my head.
Well all we need now is just $1,980 you can have it wired to my name via Western Union I'll have to show my passport as ID to have it picked up here and i promise to pay you back as soon as I get back home. Here's my info below
Name: Tamara Belt
City: Murcia
Country Spain
Please let me know how soon you can wire the cash so we can confirm our flight and kindly email me the transfer details as soon as you have it done (MTCN) for the pick up of the money... Let me know if you are heading out

I really hope you get this on time. I didn't tell you about our travel to Spain for a short vacation, but unfortunately we were robbed at the hotel where we lodged along with other folks. We didn't bring our phones here and the hotel telephone lines were disconnected during the incident. So I have access to only emails. Please I'm going to need some sort of loan from you for us to relocate to another hotel close to the embassy and also to get us another flight ticket. Those thieves made away with our credit cards as well which is why this can't be resolved instantly.
We've been to the Embassy and the Police here but they're not helping issues at all and our flight leaves tomorrow. Please, Let me know if you can help us out?
I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
Regards,
Tamara Belt
