Dear Sir/Madam,
I am Nishantha, a 50-year-old Sri Lankan, currently residing with my family. I am writing to kindly request your assistance in starting a small-scale agricultural project that has the potential to transform my family’s financial future and help me provide for my two children who are still in
I am a father of two children who are pursuing their education, and as their sole caretaker, it is my responsibility to ensure their needs are met, both now and in the future. However, I am currently unemployed and struggling to secure a stable source of income. Over the years, I have explored various avenues to support my family, but due to limited resources, I have not been able to implement a long-term solution.
Despite the challenges I face, I am determined to overcome my financial struggles and provide a better life for my children. I have always believed in hard work and perseverance, and I see this project as the turning point for my family’s future.
The Proposed Project: Scotch Bonnet Pepper Cultivation
In my search for a sustainable and profitable business, I came across the idea of cultivating Scotch bonnet peppers. This crop has proven to be highly profitable in Sri Lanka due to its increasing demand in both local and international markets. Scotch bonnet peppers are known for their unique flavor, heat, and versatility, making them a popular choice for various culinary purposes.
This project aligns well with Sri Lanka's favorable climate and soil conditions, which are ideal for growing high-quality peppers. Furthermore, the cultivation of Scotch bonnet peppers does not require extensive land or expensive equipment, making it a feasible option for someone like me with limited resources.
To successfully start this project, I require an initial investment of LKR 75,000 (approximately USD 250). This amount will cover the following expenses:
1. Seeds and Planting Materials: High-quality Scotch bonnet seeds and other essential materials for planting.
2. Land Preparation: Clearing and preparing the small plot of land I have access to for cultivation.
3. Irrigation System: A basic irrigation setup to ensure consistent watering for the plants.
4. Fertilizers and Pest Control: Organic fertilizers and eco-friendly pest control measures to ensure healthy plant growth.
5. Packaging and Marketing: Basic packaging materials to market and sell the peppers once harvested.
Your support will not only help me start this project but also enable me to create a sustainable source of income for my family. Once the first harvest is successful, I plan to reinvest the profits to expand the project, thereby securing a stable and long-term livelihood. This will ensure that I can provide for my children’s education and other needs without relying on external assistance.
Additionally, this project has the potential to benefit the local community. As the business grows, I hope to create job opportunities for others in need, contributing to the overall economic development of the area.
Why I Need Your Help
While I am deeply committed to working hard and making this project a success, I am unable to raise the initial investment on my own due to my current financial situation. Without this critical funding, I am unable to take the first step toward realizing my dream.
Your assistance will serve as a lifeline, giving me the opportunity to lift myself and my family out of financial difficulties. With your help, I am confident that I can make this project a success and become financially independent.
In closing, I humbly request your support in helping me start this Scotch bonnet pepper cultivation project. Your generosity will not only provide me with the resources I need to begin but also give my children a chance to grow up with financial security and a brighter future.

Nishantha
