Dear Sir/Madam.

We invite all interested project owners and investors to our project financing programme
I am the investment officer and we are ready to fund projects in the form of debt finance.

We grant loans to both Corporate and private entities at a low interest rate of 2.5% ROI per annum.

The terms are very flexible and interesting.

Kindly revert back if you have projects that need funding for further discussion and negotiation.

Regards,

Paul W Owen
