She may be a nice girl. she may like you a little or a lot. And maybe a member of her family member did die, and needs to be cremated.
If she had never met you, the person would get buried and cremated. If you tell her "No," the person will get buried and cremated. And if she is short her share, someone will lend it to her. The person's corpse is unlikely to rot in the street for lack of funds from you.
If the money means little to you, and you want to make an impression, fine. It's your money. But you should feel no obligation to do so. And understand, that if you do, particularly so early in a relationship, that will most likely be the first of many requests for funds. In the lives of these girls, there are always occasions arising that require "emergency" funds. That is the way they live their lives. If it is not one thing, then it is something else. Most of the time they don't have to lie about it.
Try this. Email her back. Say hello, how are you, I am fine, etc. Don't mention her request for money. See what happens. If she never writes you back, then you are better off for it. Most likely, she will write back again, not mention the cremation, and that will be the end of it, until the next "emergency" arises!
