Subject: Urgent Message!
I hope this message finds you in the best of health. I am currently in London(UK) on a short business trip, I came here to purchase building materials and interior decorations. Unfortuantely for me, all my money got stolen in the hotel where I lodged as there was a robbery incident. I should have called you but I did not bring my phone here and I do not have instant access to phone.
I want you to send me $5800 (USD) so I can pay for my hotel bills and purchase the goods which I came here to buy. I will refund your money as soon as I get back home. I wish to leave here as soon as possible. Please let me hear from you so I can let you know the safest and fastest way to send money to me here. Please keep this message only to yourself!
Best Regards,
Sauci
