Club Fee Instalments
The situation
You have joined the university football club for the coming season. The full season fee is due by next Friday, but you have just paid a large textbook bill and cannot afford the whole amount at once. Speak to the club treasurer: explain your situation and ask to pay the fee in instalments.
Model answer
Hi, thanks for taking a minute to chat. I'm really keen to play this season, and I know the full fee is due by next Friday. The thing is, I've just had to buy all my textbooks for the semester, and that's wiped out most of my savings, so paying the whole amount in one go is going to be tough. Would the club be open to me paying it in three instalments, say one now and the rest over the next two months? Thanks for considering it.
