Short term loan needed - whats the best way

Hi, I need a short term loan and wondered if anyone has any advice.

I need it for about four weeks only. I am cashing in an endowment policy which will give me 9 grand in four weeks time, but I want to borrow 5 grand until it comes through. I have asked the bank for a bigger overdraft but they won't do it.

I am currently unemployed as I am moving abroad very shortly.
I have a credit card but don't want to buy EVERYTHING on that. Is there anyway of getting a short term loan or a cash advance on the CC that will give me 5K for 4 weeks. I intend paying off the 5K when I get the endowment money.

Also posted on the Credit card board

Thanks
Jazzys
