I was looking at my email in an account I rarely use, and I was shocked and saddened to learn about the troubles our friend and leader Leslie Morris was experiencing back on February 9th (see attached email below). I trust that his business in London was successful, and he has returned safely to your great country. Perhaps one of you even helped pay his hotel bill, I have heard you are a kind and generous people.
It's an amazing coincidence that a Facebook friend of mine (and fellow B-52s fan), Michelle Kupiec of Middleburg Heights, OH initiated this chat with me on February 13, just 4 days after Leslie got traumatically robbed by some street orchids:
9:40amMichelle
hey
9:40amMatt
hello, hows it going?
9:41amMichelle
not too goood at the moment
9:41amMatt
what's going on?
9:43amMichelle
i came down here to London,England for a short vacation to visit a resort and got mugged at gun point last night at the park of the hotel where we lodged
9:43amMatt
oh my god, that's terrible
were you injured?
it must have been terrifying
9:44amMichelle
All cash,credit cards and cell were stolen off me.I've been to the US embassy and the Police here but they're not helping issues at all
9:49 AM 9:45amMatt
they haven't been helping you?
9:45amMichelle
our flight leaves
today and I'm having problemssettling the hotel bills.The hotel manager won't let us leave
until i settle the hotel bills(1,250 pounds) now am freaked out
9:46amMatt
wow, that's terrible!
9:47amMichelle
i dont know if u can help me out for the hotel bills
I had to tell her "no" - my money is all tied up, I've invested heavily in Mr. Roboto's movie. However, I have an idea that may generate a little income, I'll split it evenly between Michelle, Leslie, and me (because I had this idea). This is how I explained it to Michelle just a few minutes ago:
Hi Michelle
It's an amazing coincidence, but my friend Leslie Morris, the famous Australian film director, went to London and got mugged, too! This reminded me of your unfortunate experience in London, so much (see attached).
Do you know if they still run "Ripley's Believe It Or Not" in the newspapers? I want to send this one to them, they'll flip! They'll probably want to send me money. Maybe if its used on their TV program, they'll send me even more. I'll share it with you of course, you probably need it, you had a very expensive trip!
Your friend,
Matt

Subject: help me please
To:
zpinternational@bellsouth.net How are you doing? Please I really don't feel like disturbing you with
my problem but I don't have any other choice rather then seeking for
help from you, please try and understand my situation right now as it
needs an urgent attention. Actually, I traveled to London, but
Unfortunately for me, I got robbed by some street orchids while trying
to get a cab back to my Hotel. Right now, I am stranded and so cash
trapped.
I can't even think straight now. So please can you kindly lend me
1200$ to settle my hotel bills and other things. Even if you don't
have up to the amount, you can assist me with any amount you can
raise. I promise to pay you back the money as soon as I return back
home. I am so confused right now. I would have called you to explain
the situation to you but my mobile phone does not work here and the
hotel phone line has been disconnected because of the bills I am owing
the hotel management, I only have access only to email. You can have
the money sent to me through western union money transfer as It is
more safer and faster. Here is the details where you would send the
money to
Name : Leslie Morris
Location : London EC1N 8QX, England, United Kingdom
So please kindly locate a western union office and send the money if
possible today so that I can get out of here as soon as possible.
Immediately you send the money, get back to me with the payment
details after you sent the money. I am almost impatiently waiting for
your reply. Hope to hear from you very soon.
Awaiting your reply,
