Dear Mum

I love it here in London. University is fun, and I’m working hard. But London is a very expensive city – everything

is more expensive than at home. I’m really having trouble paying my bills and now I have a credit-card bill of

£2000. I’m trying to spend less now, I really am. I’m being more careful with my money. I don’t go to restaurants, I

eat at home. I buy cheaper things, and live simply. I only buy the things I need, not the things I want.

But I’m asking for your help, Mum. Please can you pay my credit-card bill and send me some money?

Love,

Isabel
