Stating that he had not been able to pay his house rent for three months, Eğrek used the following expressions in the message he sent:

"... Mr. [Name], greetings, how are you? We came and went to your workplace during our working life. We put our heads together on projects at the ... factory. We ate bread together, drank tea together, even if it was a little. Yes, you are right, unfortunately, I disturbed you with an unpleasant subject, please forgive me. If I didn't know your character, if I wasn't forced to, would I knock on your door?

I beg you, if it is possible, please provide me with 30-35 thousand TL of support for 2 months. These days will pass, of course. I present and request my situation first to God, and then to you..."
