Permission from Skinner to post this.
It dawned on me that I could just as easily offer to DUers what I'm now pitching to high net worth individuals. I'm offering 15% interest on loans to a socially responsible business I founded and am building. I'd so, so, so much rather create wealth for like-minded internet friends than for rich people who want to feel better about where they put their money.
Subject was: Need help with subject line... please.
Here's an intro to the company:
Himalayan Wild Fibers (HWF) is a socially and environmentally responsible American company, operating in Nepal and committed to “Development through Enterprise.” We buy fiber—environmentally sustainable and wild growing—through ethical supply chains and sell it into developed textile markets.
Our mission is to transform the lives of thousands of Nepali families by creating opportunities for them to generate cash income. The majority of those who will be touched by our work are among the most marginalized, landless laborers or small scale subsistence farmers. While our goal is to have a large economic/social impact in Nepal, the company will also generate substantial profits, a portion of which will be held in trust for reinvestment in Nepal.
I need financing asap because my investor dropped out (personal issue for him)and am offering 15%, nearly three times the market rate, over 7 years (through 2016). The minimum for DUers would be $10K (it's 25K for the rest of the world). Please private message me if you're interested and want more information, and/or keep this kicked.
Thanks,
Shanti Mama
