Let $n$ be a natural number greater than 6. $X$ is a set such that $|X| = n$. $A_1, A_2, \ldots, A_m$ are distinct 5-element subsets of $X$. If $m > \frac{n(n - 1)(n - 2)(n - 3)(4n - 15)}{600}$, prove that there exists $A_{i_1}, A_{i_2}, \ldots, A_{i_6}$ $(1 \leq i_1 < i_2 < \cdots, i_6 \leq m)$, such that $\bigcup_{k = 1}^6 A_{i_k} = 6$.
