This new email follows the exact pattern my friend faced. Does anyone have Patrick's phone number (besides the one on the bottom of the email we see today?)
I sincerely hope that Patrick is OK. Should he and his family actually be penniless in Cardiff, the American embassy is particularly suited to handle this sort of distress.
