It is with great pleasure that I write to you with my application for financial aid. The current state of my account is rather dismal, I have a record of every transaction made, all for you to peruse at your leisure. There are only a few silver dollars left in my wallet, I can offer them to you now, if you think it might help my cause. I have been taken advantage of you see, cast aside from my family. I hope you would take pity upon my situation.
Your humble servant,
x.
