Herbal medicine for my mobile health service

Hello Lenders,
I just got back from Galo Sota, a remote village in the Volta region of my country, where I have been organising a free health-screening exercise for the people in that small farming community.
Personally, I'm happy that I have been of help to the community.
The only difficulty was lack of mobile-network reception, which prevented me from repaying on Sunday as scheduled.
I'm happy to be back, and I have paid my loan.
Please forgive me for the one-day delay.
It was beyond my control. Thanks for your patience.

Good afternoon my dear lenders,

Its always a joy to talk to you.

So far, my corn has been doing well and am glad to inform you that in the next two to three weeks, my corn will be ready for harvest and ready for the market. What gives me so much joy is to note that through the loan I received from you, It has in a big way facilitated this tremendous progress and timely maturity and growth of the corn. Am optimistic and hoping for great returns from the harvest and sale of the crop.
