A dancer I've known for some time has asked to borrow some money for a down payment on a home, in the form of a check written to her with "gift" in the memo line. She will have the cash to pay it back in a month or so. I trust her and am willing to do it.
...Have any of you ever asked to borrow money from a customer? I don't mean a 10 or 20, but say...high 4 figure range.
