"I Hope you get this on time, I made a trip to LUGANSK (UKRAINE) and had my bag stolen from me with my passport and personal effects therein. The embassy has just issued me a temporary passport but I have to pay for a ticket and settle my hotel bills with the Manager.
I have made contact with my bank but it would take me 3-5 working days to access funds in my account, the bad news is my flight will be leaving very soon but I am having problems settling the hotel bills and the hotel manager won't let me leave until I settle the bills, I need your help/LOAN financially and I promise to make the refund once I get back home, you are my last resort and hope, Please let me know if I can count on you and I need you to keep checking your email because it's the only way I can reach you.
Kind regards,
Basil"
I would appeal to any one on the forum living anywhere between LUGANSK and England to be on the look out for Basil possibly wearing a Dunlop rally jacket, as I could not help him, because the email was dated 14 Nov 07-15, and it is getting near to Christmas.
