My E-Mail Account Has Been Hacked

Apparently I'm stuck in the Ukraine and desperate for some quick cash. (Those resorts in the Crimea, I'm told, are really pricey.) 

To whomever hacked my account: I'd like to thank you. I've been getting calls all morning from people of I haven't spoken to in a long time (at last count, I'm up to nine), and it's been nice to hear their voices, even if the impetus to call is the hacking.

Update: Here's the pitch:
 I hope you get this on time, I made a trip to Kiev, Ukraine and had my bag stolen from me with my passport and personal effects therein. The embassy has just issued me a temporary passport but I have to pay for a ticket and settle my hotel bills with the Manager.I have made contact with my bank but it would take me 3-5 working days to access funds in my account, the bad news is my flight will be leaving very soon but i am having problems settling the hotel bills and the hotel manager won't let me leave until i settle the bills, I need your help/LOAN financially and i promise to make the refund once i get back home, you are my last resort and hope, Please let me know if i can count on you and i need you to keep checking your email because it's the only way i can reach you.
 "i" can assure you that it's the same old Spanish prisoner scam--emphasis on the old--given a Putinesque tweaking.
