Subject: Hi
Hope you get this on time? Sorry I didn't inform you about my trip to UK for a program. I am having some difficulty here because i misplaced my wallet on my way to the hotel which contained some cash, credit cards and some other valuable things. I am so confused right now.

I currently don't have a phone where i can be reached.
please let me know immediately.
Thanks, < xx -- his initials >
