AND FINALLY . .
'Plea' from trade figure who once made the news
We all get those emails promising us untold wealth from an unknown lottery, or an invite to launder money from an African state - or a distress call. John Bufton, of Ludlow dealership Moris Bufton was intrigued to receive the following email recently:

Subject : Urgent Issue - PETER ELLIOTT
Hello,
Sorry for any inconvenience, I'm in a terrible situation. Am stranded here in Kiev, Ukraine since last night. I was hurt and robbed on my way to the hotel I stayed and my luggage is still in custody of the hotel management pending when I make payment on outstanding bills I owe. Am waiting for my colleagues to send me money to get back home but they have not responded and my return flight will be leaving soon. Please let me know if you can help and I will refund the money back to you as soon as I get back home.
Please let me know if you can help
PETER.
As John says "it couldn't happen to a nicer fellow!"
