昨天收到朋友的邮件。内容如下：

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 where my money,and other valuable things were kept I will like
you to assist me with a loan urgently with the sum of £1,700 British
Pounds to sort-out my hotel bills and get myself back home.

I will appreciate whatever you can afford to help me with and I
promise to pay you back as soon as I return home.

Thank you so much and sorry to bother you.

Regards

　　我当时看完就很着急，以为他真遇到麻烦了。但是money我没那么多，后来在联系其他认识他的朋友时，突然觉得这封信需要确认是不是真的是他。因为虽然他在美国工作，当然有可能会去旅游，但不至于因为付不起费用向我借。于是先回了封邮件，用中文，然后让其他朋友帮忙确定。我等了差不多一天，到晚上的时候他打来电话说他的电子邮件被黑了。。。虚惊一场。不过我总算明白，以前觉得那些骗子电话和邮件怎么可能骗到人，这种靠小概率吃饭的事情还是非常有可能发生的。
