Dear My Love.

i am really sorry for causing all this problems for you, i really want to help you but like you know i already put all my money in the luggage and right now i don't have any money with me at the moment, This is the reason i wanted to settle this problem with the courier company but like you know i don't have any money right now to settle the problem.

I am really sorry for all this problem honey but until we are able to pay the money to the courier company it will be the best because i don't have any money with me, i put all my money in the luggage and right now i am stranded.

please find a way to help me send the money to the courier company so that they can deliver the luggage to you urgently so that you can get some money from the luggage and pay the loan to your bank. i will never leave you in such a situation, i am here with you but this is my best solution right now.
