We received this tonight from a friend's email account. The account headers and his name were correct.
The guy lives alone and travels often but he is not in Europe that we know of. Just hope his relatives on his email list do not freak out before they hear from him.

Hello,
I am in bad time here and i am sorry i didn't inform you about my traveling. I am presently in London, United Kingdom and I'm stuck here. I was mugged on my way to the hotel and my money,credit cards,phone and other valuable things were taken off me at gun point. I feel so scattered right now , I'm stranded and empty without my phone which has limited my communication to emails, I feel so sick right now and I need you to lend me some money , I need to sort out my hotel bills and get my tickets straightened out. I would be glad if you can help me and I promise to pay you back as soon as I get back home. I need about £1,000 pounds . You can get to wire the cash to me through western union money transfer or Money Gram.
The details you need is:
Name :- Ed B....
Location: London,United Kingdom.
Zipcode:- WC2H 7LH
As soon as you send out the money, kindly forward to me all the transfer details so i can go pick up the money immediately.

Tempted to look up Scotland Yard and see if they would like us to wire the money to a bank of their choice so they can pick the jerk up when he shows up to claim the money.
