below is a copy of the email I received from Rich,,,,,Rich do not worry, I have already contacted most of your friends and we are pooling our money, so far over 200 of them have responded with cash,, thus far we have almost $4.37 ready to send as soon as we get the address,,,,,,,, RogerHello,I Hope you get this on time, I made a trip to Manila, Philippines and had my bag stolen from me with my passport and personal effects therein. The embassy has just issued me a temporary passport but I have to pay for a ticket and settle my hotel bills with the Manager.I have made contact with my bank but it would take me 3-5 working days to access funds in my account, the bad news is my flight will be leaving very soon but I am having problems settling the hotel bills and the hotel manager won't let me leave until I settle the bills, I need your help/LOAN financially and I promise to make the refund once I get back home, you are my last resort and hope, Please let me know if I can count on you and I need you to keep checking your email because it's the only way I can reach you.Richard
