Kak Mardhiah just received an email from a sender using Cik Aim's email address. Apparently, it turns out to be a hoax. So, what's in the mail?:
"This had to come in a haste, and it left me in a catastrophic condition. I am in a terrible situation and I'm really in need of your help urgently. Sorry I didn't inform you about my traveling to Africa for a program. Am in a hurry writing you this note, Just wanted to seek your help on something very important, you are the only person I could reach at this point and I hope you come to my aid. Because something terrible is happening to me now, I need a favour from you, It was a very sad news and bad for me, this condition that I found myself is very hard for me to explain. Right now,I am stranded in Nigeria because I forgot my little bag in a taxi where my money and passports were kept on my way to the Hotel were i stay, I have no money with me .
I lost almost everything I have with me (which included my cash, diaries and credit cards). My cellphones were not brought along since I did not get to roam anybody before coming over.I am now owning a hotel bill of $950 and they wanted me to pay the bills soon else they will have to seize my bag and hand me over to the Hotel Management, I do not want to make a scene of this which is why I did not call the office or my house, this is embarrassing enough.please I need some help from you urgently to help me back home,and I need you to help me with the hotel bill and i will also need $1,350 to feed and help myself back home so please can you help me with a sum of $2,300 to sort out this problems here. I need this help so much and on time because i am in a terrible and tight situation here,please understand how urgent i need your help.
I do not have access to phone communications because the phone in my hotel room had been disconnected due to too much bills imposed on me, I only have computer access at the hotel lobby where am sending you this email right now.
Hope to hear from you soon. The embassy here have already promised to give me a covering traveling papers that i will need to have my way back home, all i need right now is the money to settle the bills and leave here. you would need to transfer the money through Western Union, please email me back so that i can forward you my Informations you would need in sending the money to me through Western Union money transfer, because that is the only way i could be able to obtain it quickly and leave here...
Thanks and hope to hear from you soon.

Rashid."
