Here is another version of the friend in need email scam titled “Urgent Request”. Here is what the email says:

Hello, How are you doing? Hope all is well with you and family, I know this might be a surprise to you but I am sorry I didn’t inform you about my traveling to England for a Seminar. I need a favor from you because I misplaced my wallet on my way to the hotel, my money and other valuables are gone including my credit cards. I will like you to assist me with an urgent loan of 2300 british pounds which is about $3700 U.S dollars to sort-out my hotel bills and get myself back home. This is one favor I will always show gratitude to throughout my lifetime. I will appreciate whatever you can afford to help me with and I promise to refund the money as soon as I return home. Please do this for me and I will be grateful. Best Regards, Charin
