Good Morning Ma'am/Sir! Nais ko lang po sanang humingi ng assistance mula sa inyong butihing opisina para sa aking kinakasama na naaksidente at nadiagnose na mayroong fracture sa kanyang legs. Sya po ay kailangang maoperahan sa lalong madaling panahon at nangangailangan ng titanium implant na nagkakahalagang 70k. Kami po'y walang kakayahan na makabili nitong implant na ito dahil ang kinakasama ko ay hindi na makalakad at wala syang trabaho. Maraming salamat po.
