    To

    The Loan Officer

    Dear Sir/Madam,

    XYZ, is an Atlanta based corporation that has been in the business of contract warehousing since 6th November, 2003. Over the years, we have built-up a reputation of providing specialized services, tailor-made to suit the requirements of clients expecting more than just plain storage facilities. Cross-docking, inventory control, packaging, just-in-time inventory management, local transportation and quality control are just some of the services that have made XYZ, a distinguished contract warehousing company. Our preferred clients, TTT, TYU and TIO, have been in business with us since early 2004.

    The plethora of services provided by us comes at a price which is fully justified considering the complexities of the business. However, since September '07, a number of clients have become reluctant to enter into the customary lease agreement of 3 years, due to the significant slowdown in economic activity. Public warehouses, that allow clients to store for both short and long periods of time, are being favored in these hard times. Considering that the economy is on its way to recovery albeit slowly, as the sole proprietor, I'm convinced that the business will turn around in a jiffy.

    I would request you to consider providing me with a loan to the tune of $---------- so that the working capital requirements of the business can be met. I am enclosing herewith the following documents for your perusal.
    • Statement of Personal History.
    • Legal description of the property offered as a collateral.
    • Signed current personal balance sheet, profit and loss statement and statement of cash flows.
    • The name, addresses, tax I.D. number (EIN or SSN), and the current personal financial statement of the guarantors.
    • Other Relevant Details.
    I would request you to consider my appeal and revert at the earliest.

    Sincerely,

    Name:
