Loan Proposal
Thank you once again for this chance. I really appreciate your efforts in helping us. With this loan I would like to add more stock so I can open another shop that is now ready to start. So I will use USD 450 for the new clothes,USD 200 for the used clothes and use the remaining to put shelves in the new store. With this increase am sure I will have a good boost to my sales that will make my repayment easier. Thank again and God bless you all.
