REPLY TO:miabh63@tsamail.co.za
Dear Sir,
Permit me to write you this supply mail letter,since it's
being written without your prior notice.
However,I am writing based on the prevailing business
opportunity that is on ground.I have confidence that you
can handle this supply for our mutual benefit.I also
believe that you will not betray the trust and confidence I
am reposing on you.
I work with the Ministry of "Commerce & Industry" in
ACCRA-GHANA,as the company's Corporate Affairs manager.
Between the 3rd to 12th April,2004,a business
seminar(PANAFEST)was held at Guinea,Conakry which I
attended. While in the seminar,I was opportuned to meet
NANA OFFORI ADDO,the President of a reputable farm in
Ghana.
Nana is a reputable millionaire farmer in this part of the
world.He specializes in cattle farming,and other diary
products.He has farms in several parts of West African
regions.On getting to know my profession,he developed
interest in me and felt at ease to speak to me on certain
issues affecting his business.In fact,he took me into
confidence.He related to me the amount he spends on the
purchase of a certain a particular medicine for his
cattles,and that he buys upto 500 cartons per order.
He reiterated that he wishes my Ministry to source and
supply him the medicine cheaper considering the recent
trend in the world market which affects his business.Back
to my office,I discussed the business with my boss and he
decided to handle the supply by himself.We did market
research and discovered that we could purchase the cattle
medicine cheaper in Europe at euro 2,000 per carton.
We then made a proposal to the farm to make the supply to
him at euro 3,800 per carton, which he accepted. Owing to
my role in the business,I had an agreement with my boss to
receive 10% of whatever accrues from each supply.But on the
21st of july, 2004, when the first supply of 500 cartons
was made to the FARMS,my boss decided to renegade on our
agreement.He refused to give me anything near to what we
had agreed,rather,he gave me what he called a "token of
appreciation".When I protested,he threatened to dismiss me
from work and added that i am a widow and could not do him
anything.He went ahead to issue me a querry for
insobordination as he termed it.
I decided to overlook his betrayal and our relationship
ceased to be cordial. He never said anything to me about
further supplies to the FARMS and I thus assumed that the
business relationship had stopped.Towards the end of last
month,I intercepted mails from Buyer to my boss.I was
shocked to note that he had made more supplies to Buyer
which I did not know.I considered this very unfair from my
boss.
More so, the buyer is now requesting for another
supply of 500 cartons of this vaccine following a
suspected outbreak of disease among his cattles in Mali. He
requested that the medicine be supplied as soon as
possible.The letters have not uptil date reached my
boss,and will never.Rather I called Nana and convinced him
that I will arrange for the supply of the vaccine at the
price of euro 3,500 per carton. At the moment Buyer is
waiting for me or my foreign contact as he has agreed to
stop further dealings with my boss.And buyer will pay 50%
upfront advance fee for the supply.If you can handle this
project as I believe, please contact me immediately with my
email address for further details on how to go about it and
negotiations on what is to be my commission.
Reply ASAP.
Thank you and best regards,
Mrs Evelyn Sawyer
