REQUEST OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE OF US 4O,OOO FOR PURCHASING A TRACTOR FOR OUR FARM PROJECT.
The above subject matters, I Br. Marcus Mnunduma Ofm Cap, who is aproject manager of Chiwachiwa Farm Project, extend my financial request to enable our Province to buy a new tractor for our farm.
The project is owned by the religious congregation-Capuchin Friars minor Province of Tanzania.
However, we lack of some means to run it. We have tried to use our little fund we obtain from the farm to acquire some tools and machines. However, we have so far not managed to obtain a tractor.
Thus, would you please assist in buying a new tractor for our farm so that we may continue with our project .
it is our appeal that you will extend a hand of support towards this project. Please be convinced that the amount will be used specifically for the intended purpose.
We are looking forward to hear from you.
Sincerely,
Br. Marcus Mnunduma Ofm Cap
