A new loan funded this afternoon (CCSJ Marketing Acquisition & Expansion

For the readers that believe in reading the actual description without modification:

Hello and thank you everybody for your attention to my listing.

I am a successful and smart entrepreneur looking to expand my business and marketing
operations in the Sacramento and SF bay areas. I am also a homeowner with several investment properties.
I know first hand the value of good credit and seek to maintain it at all cost. As such this is a very low risk loan
and i was tempted to lower the interest rate a few points but decided i wanted to be fair
to all the investors supporting me in my endeavors. The money gathered for this loan will
go to expanding into a new office and other marketing expenses.

EXPLANATION OF “C” CREDIT
Prosper just so happens to use Experian as the choice credit bureau provider. My scores
on the other two bureas[sic] are much higher and I should normally be placed in the B or above rating.
I have never had any negative credit issues or late payments whatsoever. So rest assured :)

This loan will also give me the chance to experience prosper in action first hand, as i
have many clients that need extra funding to expand their operations. I would like the chance to give prosper
a recommendation.

FINAL NOTE TO LENDERS:
As you can see this is a very safe investment, and I will take all precautions to make sure it stays that way.
Once gain thank you for your consideration.

17.37% weighted average… Maybe I need to up my standing order interest rate?
