SUB: ENHANCED DISBURSEMENT OF SMALL LOANS FOR FLOOD-AFFECTED FARMERS.

Dear Sir,

As you know, a SIDR cyclone, more severe than the SIDR of 2007, lashed the entire southern part of Bagerhat district on May 15, 2009 leaving a trail of unimaginable destructions. Crops on the fields have been damaged to the extent of 75 percent. Houses have been traceless. People are spending their days and nights under the open sky. Considering the severity of the cyclone and haplessness of the affected people we appeal to your esteemed authority to approach our Board of Directors with a request to visit the flood-affected regions of Bagerhat district as soon as possible.

We need to convince our bank management to allot special budget of at least Taka 50 crore for immediate disbursement of small loans, each of Taka 25 thousand, under a special program with a view to rehabilitating the cyclone-affected people of this region.

Thank you so much.

Sincerely,

Newazish Ali

Regional Manager
