My Business

a very great chance i have received to describe the happiness i have to be introduced to this wonderful family i have just heard about.i want to request for a loan size of $295 dollars,and is as follows:150 dollars am going to use for purchasing spare parts for my motor cyle like the tyres are almost worn and i need to buy new ones and also for services to maintain it to be in a good shape because i do work from 5am to 10 pm in the night.Then 50 dollars i want to purchase dresses for my kiosk that i was able to employ someone who is working there as i as i dwell on my boda boda(motor taxi).then the remaining $45 i want to ad for my brothers school fees in order to be allowed to sit for his end term exams.this loan am taking am going to service my motor cycle and the kiosk business for clothes because i want to buy another moor cycle and employ some people in my community and i had already started paying for one motor cycle and i believe with you funding me am going to achieve as soon as possible because i am a hardworking man.thank you so much zidisha. i want believe i have described well enough above how much i make and what i have saved and from the above description i am able to stand on my own and pay this loan without any difficulty.thank you so much zidisha.
