    Hello Lenders,
    I want to apologise for not being able to pay twice due to bad weather and no customers but am going to pay the remaining amount in two installments so that i can clear the balance. The rain is destroying so many things including buildings falling, cars being swept away on the roads, people dying and many more. Thats why people are afraid to go to places for food and refreshments but i hope God will be on our side and help us to get customers.
    Forgive me for the inconvinience.
    Have a great week and God bless you all.

    Hi Lenders,
    I hope that you are all ok. Sorry I haven't been posting on my progress due to being busy and getting tired since now there's a lot of work here and there. The business is going very well thanks to you for your help. My employees are also happy because the work has reduced and alot of energy such as charcoal and gas doesn't end that fast as it used to. Customers are happy too that the food is no longer being over cooked and more of new customers are flocking in. Am happy that the management is improving due to your great help. I have also been paying on time and everything is going smoothly. Am so thankful and may God bless you all.
    Thank you very much. Have a great week.

    Hi Lenders,
    I believe that you are all well. I and my family are doing okay. The businesses are doing well and i would really urge for your help to make it more better. Alot of my customers love roasted meat of which i cannot provide a huge amount of meat due to lack of the roasting machine since i have a small one. Am also trying to save up to see if ill get enough money to top up and get everything set so that my customers dont lack anything when they visit the premises. I would just like to make things easier for both my employees and customers so that they can be happy.
    I hope and pray that one day you will consider me to make it through my dreams. Thank you and be blessed.

    Hi Lenders,
    I believe you are all ok. I and my family are doing ok. The businesses are going on well. The meat that we purchase nowadays is three times better than before. Profits are increasing, the service that we are giving our customers is higher than how it used to be due to the location of that area because its just at the road side. The more they get to know the place the more people come to order due to them communicating which is an advantage to us because we have to keep them happy by offering what they need or want. As we always say the customers are always right. I want to make it more better since i have also added more employees and am thankful to them for the effort they have been putting of which i decided to give them a bonus that made them very happy.
    Thank you for your great help and may God bless you always.
    I hope you will consider me in the coming loan. Be blessed

I hope that you will consider me in the up coming loan to help me build the business to be more stable so that i can help my children in the future and open for them businesses in the near future.
    Please make my dreams to be true.
    Thank you and God bless you all.

    Hello Lenders,
    I believe and hope that you are all okay. I and my family are doing well. The businesses are going on well and atleast the weather is a bit good today. I have also been thinking about the warmers because they will be of great help during working hours since we keep cooking over and over again making the food being overcooked which is not goof because it spoils the flavour and minerals of the food. Please help me make it possible to make it a better industry interms of the hotel policy because i know and pray that one day ill open a real hotel that is bigger and better.
    Thank you and be blessed. Have a great day.

    Hello Lenders,
    I hope you are all ok. I and my family are doing great. The businesses are going on well as usual though i need a few things to make it stable and easier to manage. Now thats the rainy season is back, there's a great challange of customers on and off the premises. Thats why i need a warmer and griller to make things easier so that when the customers come the food is still hot for them to enjoy. I hope that you'll consider me in your thoughts to help me with the loan. Thank you and be blessed. Have a great day.

    hi lenders,
    I hope that you are all okay. I and my family are doing good and so are the businesses. I had more customers during New Year's Eve and since then customers have been flocking in and out of the butchery. Its really a good year for me and i thank God for how far he has brought me business and health-wise.
    I want to thank you also for your support and i hope to get advice,s too to help me grow in terms of knowledge. I would like to borrow another loan to do more businesses for this year since am planning to do more so as to fulfill my future plans in the years to come, as we always say, "New Year, New Resolution". Hope you will consider me again in your thoughts. Thank you and may God bless you always.
