I apologize for having to contact you, but recently, during a trip to
London, United Kingdom I had my bad stolen from me. Unfortunately, my
passport and credit card was inside the bag. The embassy is willing to
help by letting me fly without my passport, I just have to pay for an
airline ticket and settle hotel bills. Unfortunately for me, I can’t
access funds without my credit card. I’ve made contact with my bank,
but the bank requires 2 days to process this request, and since my
home bank is in another country, there would be added shipping time.
Can you lend me some money so that I can get on the next available
flight? I will be able to pay you back as soon as I arrive back in. I
need to be on the next available flight. Please let me know if you are
available to help and I can forward you details on how you can get the
funds to me.
