A friend offered to loan me $5000 and I need to find information on how to write a simple contract with all necessary information. What's a good source?
Thanks

Here's a sample:

Free Installment Promissory Note (http://www.free-legal-document.com/installment-promissory-note.html)

Also here's a tongue-in-cheek example contract, which will require heavy editing, but has a lot of good elements;

That's about as believable as the Nigerian scam.

I think you're insulting Nigerian scams -- which despite their poor english are usually understandable, and contain only two or three typos!

Lol!

Since you are such good friends you can just draw a simple contract with details such as repayment amount and payoff date . Then take it to have it notorized then it will be perfectly legal...
