OK, so I've been friends with "Lisa" for 30 years, ever since we were kids. Ever since she moved away contact has been minimal. She always explains it as "I'm so busy with work and volleyball and, and, and..." I try to keep in touch, but all I get is ignored emails, or ignored voicemails.
Last night I got an email from her only asking for me to sponsor her to Walk For The Heart which she'll be doing. I find this incredibly tacky to be out of touch for so long and then ask for money! I know it's a good cause, and she does have heart problems and so does her dad.
What I'm asking is that I want to reply to her saying politely "No thanks, can't afford it right now" but I'd like to phrase something like if you would have stayed in touch more, I probably would have. How do you word that? Or should I just ignore her like she ignores me?
