You remember the $20 million gold deal in the Congo. Or was it South Africa?

Anyway, I got a letter today.

I'm sorry for this odd request because it might get to you too urgent but it's because of the situation of things right now,I'm stuck in London with family right now,we came down here on vacation ,we were robbed, worse of it was that our bags, cash and credit cards were stolen of us at GUN POINT, it's such a crazy experience for us, we need help flying back home, the authorities are not being 100% supportive but the good thing is that we still have our passports but don't have enough money to get our flight ticket back home, please i need you to loan me some money, i will refund you as soon as I'm back home, i promise.

I replied:

I got your letter from Nigeria recently.

How did you make it to London?

I received this reply within the hour.

I'm very sorry for not informing you about my vacation but I'm sure i can explain better when i return and I've been finding it difficult to make overseas calls from here. My phone's out of service, probably because I'm outside the states. It has really been embarrassing for me,Please i need your help

I guess Rob thought he had snagged one.
