I offer servicing of vehicles which includes (oil change, greasing, gearoik change etc)
, panbeating and also give our customers after sales services which Is car wash after a service

Loan Proposal

Motor cycle being the most used mode of transport everywhere, I have come up with the idea of investing in motor bike spare in my area .this will gave me a great chance for as I have discovered, every ten minute more than five motor cycle must be on the road felling either a customers or goods to different location.
The loan will stock the following.
Bike tyres @20 dollar 5 tyres will be 100 dollars
Clutch plates @2 dollar 20 clutch Will be 40 dollar
Bike wheel bearings@5 dollars 20 bearings will be 100 dollars
Brake pads and brake cable will cost 50 dollars

With this kind of stock I will be able to serve many customers.Not only car,trucks but also motor bikes will buy from me.making my profit grow.

    Hi John, I am hoping you will be able to make even small payments on your loan. You were doing so well for months, and I imagine something bad happened to keep you from paying in time. I wish you the best. Please communicate with your lenders so we know what is happening. Even if you pay back late, as long as you are making progress, then your lenders will have faith in you for future loans.

    I have called John to know why he has not made repayment, unfortunately john told me he got an accident and the hospital bill was really a challenge to him.
    However, John has promised to repay back the arrears when he recover. Kindly, receive my apology on his behalf.

    Kind regards,
    Emmanuel,
