I got the email in last hour, who got the same?

"I'm writing this with tears in my eyes,I came down here to Wales United Kingdom  for a short vacation and i was mugged at gun point last night,at the park of the hotel  where we lodged all cash,credit cards and cell were stolen off me,thank God we have our life and passport.
 
I've been to the embassy and the Police here but they're not helping issues at all,they asked us to wait for 3weeks but we can't wait till then.My flight  leaves in less than 3hrs from now and am having problems settling the hotel bills.
 
The hotel manager won't let us leave until we settle the hotel bills.You can speak with him through this number +447024078842 his name is Larry.am so  freaked out at the moment
You can wire the money to me through western-union all you need is name on my passport and location below.\
 
Name:Tra.. Tra..
Location:9 Moorgate,Ormskirk United Kingdom, L39 4RT
Amount: $2,250
 
I'll def refund your cash as soon as i get home.
 
Warm Regards."

I guess his email account is hacked and this mail is sent to all his contacts. Please dont send any money to this address.
Thank you.

-Uwe

p.s.: I archive this mail for police investigations.
