    Well just established Wangui has a job in Nairobi. After trying to reach her on phone in vain she later sent me message promising to clear the balance soon. Hopefully she honors her pledge. May the good lord be with you our lenders as you patiently wait for her to act.

    Hello Team,
    Apologies for the delay in response and repayment. My business collapsed but i secured a job this month. I will be paying One thousand shillings every end-month beginning this month.
    Please stop sending those messages to the people i provided their numbers.
    I highly regret the inconveniences caused but look forward to clearing the balance. Have a good day.

    Hello Lenders I am the VM to Ruth I have been trying to reach Ruth but am yet to get to her up to now. She does not pick my calls. The community leader phone number is no longer in service. But one of the relatives has told me she is doing well and when she last talked to Ruth she said she would call me which she never did and she has not done any attempt to pay. But the family member promised to try and remind her oncemore. I have sent her an sms too. Thank you for your patience
