Dear Christine,
Please let me congratulate you for the good work you are doing. I never thought that I would have to write you but I am in serious trouble and I need help desperately.
I’m self-employed and have been for the last 20 years. I survive by doing the basics – purchasing food and paying bills when I can. I have not gone to the hairdresser since June 2012, when business got very slow.
I decided to write you because my previous landlord is planning to take me to court for rent arrears. I am $11 950 in debt and unable to pay. I was asked to leave and I did so at the beginning of this year. I have since used up all my savings. I am now sharing a residence with a relative, who too is self-employed and unable to help me with my debt. I share the bills and I am very glad that I do not have to pay any more rent.
However, I am appealing to readers to help me with money so that I would not have to go to court. I have owed the money since over a year ago and the landlord’s patience has run out. Also the landlord is not a rich person. He depends on the rent in order to survive. My situation has caused the landlord great inconvenience.
Please help me immediately.

Dear Help Me,
I am sorry to hear of your plight. The amount of financial assistance you are requesting is extremely high, but miracles can happen. Maybe people could contribute to your cause or if possible, offer you a job so you can start making payments towards your debt.
I will be making contact with you, should anyone respond.
