Hi Sally, I'm wring to you because I've got a problem, and I'm hoping you can help me. I'm having a few money worries at the moment. Basically, the problem is that my rent is due on Thursday, which is $500. I've got money to pay the rent, but once that's gone, I'll have no money for food (or anything else) until the end of the month, when my allowance is paid in. I'm not normally this bad with money, but it's been a very expensive month, as my car broke down, and I had to take it to the garage. So, could you lend me about $200, just to get me to the end of the month? I don't want to ask my parents, as my mom has been ill, and it'll just be another thing for her to worry about. Don't worry if you can't afford it. Thanks so much! Love, Amy
