Loan Proposal

Dear Lenders,this time I would want to use the funds as I need to purchase bags of fertilizers and the maize seeds for this farming season that is about to commence as the rains are about to start off this November.I hope to do better this year as I look forward for the best harvest next year.
I need 3 bags of urea @ $25 x 4= $100
2 bags of D-Compound @ $30 x 5 =$150
I also need 3 x 10kg, bags of maize seeds @ $15 x 3= $45
The rest of the loan funds will be used to transport the said items to the farm.
I will repay you as usual on time.

    Loan was originally scheduled to take two months. Regular payments were received early in the loan, with a single large payment finishing the loan after five months.
