(call begins)...
Me: Hello, Good afternoon uncle. It's Joy your niece. Udeme's daughter.
Uncle Emma: Joy girl, how are you?
Me: I'm fine. How are you sir?
Uncle Emma: I'm alright.
Me: uncle I need your help.
Uncle Emma: yes what can I do for you?
Me: I need help to pay my fees. The deadline is in a week and I have not gotten any money to pay. If I don't pay in a week,the portal is going to close and I will just have to suspend studies for this semester. You are my last hope.
Uncle Emma: (laughs hard) So now you can call me to ask for money. I thought you and your mother stopped being Jehovah's Witnesses and even changed your surname from the normal name everyone in the family bears. How am I even sure you are now in school. I don't want to have anything to do with you, your brothers or even your mom and don't you ever call my line again. Rubbish.
(call ends)...
I used to think family should always be there for each other in the good and bad times but no, this is life as we know it.

This is clearly a mistake. Please ignore.

Lovely
