    I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your loan.I had sent my email but it did not go through.
    As i had promised I started a business of cyber café where I provide the following services browsing,type setting,printing and photocopying.
    If I get the loan I would use it to buy more computers and photocopying machines so as to expand my business and carter for the larger students community in the university.
    Currently my business is a bit slow because most of the students are off session upto may-june academic year,so kindly reschedule my payment so that i can be able to pay in a piecemeal.
    Thank You in Advance.

    Hi lenders.
    I have been chosen to act as Dennis' volunteer mentor and I have already had a phone session with him.
    According to Dennis, he left Nakuru town where his business was situated after he graduated and went to another town called Kisii which is more than 200 kms from his former location. He claims that his business took a downturn from the move but its picking up slowly.
    Dennis has promised to resume payments from the month of February and also increase the repayment installments. Lets hope that he keeps his promise and I will keep pressuring him to clear up the loan soonest possible.

    Dear Dennis,
    I've seen your monthly schedule changes, along with their identical messages, and looked at your 5-year-repayment plan: you're scheduled to pay roughly 150% of the amount borrowed. Since you, from your (initially stated) monthly profits of 26'000 shillings could draw a personal salary of 10'000 shillings (i.e. the double of one of your staff members) and still pay all the principal, as well as any interest, within two months, yet have chosen the ultimately more costly way of not doing so, I'd have to interpret it as your situation has changed drastically in some way. Would you mind telling us how things are going right now?

    All the best,
    Mårten
