He noted that his salary was abruptly cut off, making it impossible for him to service his loans.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cIt\u2019s the end of the month, bills are piling up, my salary stopped abruptly, and I have loans to pay. Please find it in your heart to forgive me,\u201d<\/em> he pleaded.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cSecondly, please help bring this ordeal to an end so I can pick up the small pieces left and figure out where to start again.
