I am hopeful all of you know that this is a scam. His email got hacked. This is an old trick. Daniel

We should all band together and send $$$ to help the poor boy. I'm sure he'd call each of us to say thanks when he gets home. Then again, maybe not.

Hope this finds you well. My family and and I are presently stranded in Kiev Ukraine, we came here for a vacation, we were having a good time until last night when we got robbed on our way back to the hotel we are staying, it was a brutal and scary scenario, all cash on us were taken including credit cards and phones, I have been able to cancel our cards so its useless to them now, the good thing is that we are alive and with our passport.
I have been to the police and embassy here but the are being reluctant to my report, I was asked to come back in two weeks.
Our return flight would leave soon but I am having problems settling our outstanding hotel bills and getting a cab to the airport, Please I need you to help me with a loan to settle the hotel and get a cab to the airport, I will pay back upon my return unfailingly, please let me know if you can give me the loan then I will tell you how to get it to me. All I need is $1,950 USD
Thanks
