letter
Dear Vuk’uzenzele,
I am a 35-year-old upcoming entrepreneur and would like to enquire about the funding opportunities available through your institution.
I currently run an internet café business that I have operated for more than eight years without external funding. While I have managed to keep it going, it has been challenging, and I would like to learn more about the requirements for accessing funding to support and grow my small business.
Kind regards,
S. Mjolo
