Hello sir/ma'm, good morning/afternoon/evening. My name is Norma Jean, and I'm new in town and am aspiring to start my own small business here. Basically I have cooked up this absolutely wonderful idea inspired by a recent mice infestation here in my new home over in Callio. This might sound a little crazy at first but bear with me here and let me explain the logistics of it. Here's my pitch: I'm an entrepreneuer absolutely yearning to start my very own "Pro-life" extermination business here, in Northumberland county. I realize that sounds a little like an oxymoron, but I am adamantly againt killing any of God's creatures with poison or those wretchedly cruel traps or the like. In a nutshell, what I would be doing is going into clients' homes, collecting the pests in humane traps, for instance mice or rats, and selling them to loving families so they can have a long happy life. Of course, the prospective adoptive families of these diminuitive, vulnerable creatures would have to undergo a lengthy substantial adoptive process before being able to take these precious little sweethearts home with them. Don't you see sir/ma'm? These rodents who were once thought as unwelcome intruders, merely pests, would now be rescued by yours truly and in turn soon embraced with open, inviting arms into a warm ,loving family and could have a long, happy life. Now, I need to get a small loan from the local bank to cover the initial start-up costs, the humane traps and whatnot, but they aren't exactly eager to give me one. They have told me that first I need to prove that my business would be successful here, by getting the signatures of at least 50 prospective clients so they know loaning the funds to me wouldn't be too much of a risk to them. Ok I'm done with my speel now. As you can see here, several in the community have already added their names to this petition form here, but I desperately need quite a few more in order to meet the quota. I'm a broke young woman with a humble, virutous idea here. I could really use your help. Would you do me the honor of adding your John Hancock as well?
