Strange email / Attilio lost in Africa

[Guest guest]

Doesn't sound like him writing. Sounds like one of those scams.

Anyway, Attillio would probably be able to find some herbs and grasses to chew

on if he didn't have any money.

How are you doing today? I am sorry i didn't inform you about my

 

traveling to Africa for a program called " Empowering Youth to Fight

 

Racism, HIV/AIDS, Poverty and Lack of Education, the program is taking

 

place in three major countries in Africa which is Ghana , South Africa

 

and Nigeria . It as been a very sad and bad moment for me, the present

 

condition that i found myself is very hard for me to explain. I am

 

really stranded in Nigeria because I forgot my little bag in the Taxi

 

where my money, passport, documents and other valuable things were

 

kept on my way to the Hotel am staying, I am facing a hard time here

 

because i have no money on me. I am now owning a hotel bill of $1200

 

and they wanted me to pay the bill soon else they will have to seize

 

my bag and hand me over to the Hotel Management., I need this help

 

from you urgently to help me back home, I need you to help me with the

 

hotel bill and i will also need $1300 to feed and help myself back

 

home so please can you help me with a sum of $2500 to sort out my

 

problems here? I need this help so much and on time because i am in a

 

terrible and tight situation here, I don't even have money to feed

 

myself for a day which means i had been starving so please understand

 

how urgent i needed your help.

 

 

 

I am sending you this e-mail from the city Library and I only have 30

 

min, I will appreciate what so ever you can afford to send me for now

 

and I promise to pay back your money as soon as i return home so

 

please let me know on time so that i can forward you the details you

 

need to transfer the money through Money Gram or Western Union.

 

 

 

Attilio D'Alberto.

Hello,

 

Sure sounds like a scam! Like if Attilio wouldn't know about card replacements

etc...
