I'm writing this with tears in my eyes, I came down here to United Kingdom for a short vacation to visit a resort and got mugged at gun point last night at the park of the hotel where i lodged. All cash, credit cards and cell were stolen off me, I've been to the embassy and the Police here but they're not helping issues at all, my flight leaves today and I'm having problems settling the hotel bills.
The hotel manager won't let me leave until i settle the hotel bills which is $2,400 USD or anything you can afford now am freaked out. Please reply back and let me know if you will be able to loan me the cash so that i can give you the necessary details you will need to get the cash to me via western union money transfer, i promise to pay you back as soon as i get home.
Hope to hear from you asap.
Debbie
