Hi,

I'm writing this with tears in my eyes,sorry I did not inform you about my trip.I actually made a quick trip to London and unfortunately attacked and mugged at gun point on the way to my hotel,all cash,credit card and cell were stolen off me but luckily I still have my passport with me but I`ve been to the embassy and the Police here but they're not helping issues at all and my return flight leaves anytime from now but I`m having problems settling the hotel bills and the hotel manager won't let me leave until I settle the bills.

I have nothing left on me right now but am very lucky to have my life and passports with me, it would have been worst if the muggers had made away with my passports. All i need now is just $2,450 USD, You can have it wired to my name via any Western Union Outlet around you... I'll have to show my passport as ID to pick it up here and i promise to pay you back as soon as I get back home hopefully today. Here is my info where you will wire the money to:

Name: Beth
Address: 6 Albemarle Street, London W1S 4HQ, United Kingdom
Amount: $2,450 USD

As soon as it has been done, kindly get back to me with the western union confirmation number... I'll def refund your cash as soon as i get home.

Sorry for the inconvenience

I owe you alot

Regards.
