Hello,

How are you doing? I am so sorry I didn't inform you about my traveling to UK to visit my ill cousin. I am presently in London with my ill cousin, whom is a student here. she was diagnosed with a kidney cancer.

xray scan states that her condition is deteriorating because the cancer has done a lot of damages to her abdominal area, and an emergency surgery must be carried-out to save her life. I am deeply sorry for not writing or calling you before leaving,I took first flight to London, the news of her illness arrived to me as an emergency and that she needs family support to keep her going. I had little time to prepare or even to inform people about my trip, I hope you understand my plight and pardon me.

I will like you to plz assist me with a soft loan, of £2000urgently to sort-out my Cousin's bills, the hospital management is demanding for a deposit of £4000 before they will implement the surgery, i travel with little money because I never expected things to be the way it is right now. What scares me the most is that she is going through a lot of pain at the moment and the doctors have advice that, it is necessary that the tumor is operated soon to avoid anything from going wrong.

I will appreciate whatever you can afford to assist me with, since i don't know your financial status at the moment. I'll pay back as soon as i return.
I'll be pleased to hear from you soon regarding my
request,

Best Regards
James Waters

Nigeria, I think. Just because the country is different, the scam remains the same.

London must have a nicer climate than Nigeria. A friend recently discovered someone had sent out a similar request to everyone in her address book.

This seems to be the scam du jour, I've had several people in my office alone who have gotten these, so it is very popular at the moment, and definitely a new tack, usually entails getting in to someone's address book and then sending emails out under that name to people in the book.
The fact that you sincerely and wholeheartedly believe that the “Law of Gravity” is unconstitutional and a violation of your sovereign rights, does not absolve you of adherence to it.

And here we are today with something really new. At least a new language.

I don't think we need a translator to understand what it says.
