How are you doing ? Sorry I didn't inform you about my traveling to Madrid - Spain for a program, I'm presently in Madrid and am having some difficulties here because i misplaced my wallet on my way to the hotel where my money and other valuable things were kept.I will like you to assist me with a loan of (£1,200 Euros - $1700 USD) to sort-out my hotel bills and to get myself back home. I will appreciate whatever you can afford to assist me with, I'll reimburse you at my return,let me know if you can be of any help? ASAP.

Awaiting for your prompt reply.

Best Regards,
Ray

Yes, this is a scam, which the club is aware of. Several people have been sent this e-mail - see thread in 'general discussion': http://www.mmoc.org.uk/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=37448 (I have edited your message to remove the e-mail address - please do the same if you post the message elsewhere. Thank you)
