Subject: REQUEST TO DO BUSINESS WITH YOU.
REQUEST TO DO BUSINESS WITH YOU.
I am Jaime Arbaze, a staff of the Ministry of Finance and Economic planning here in Ghana. At the risk of boasting, I wish you to understand that I am a top personal aid to the Minister and therefore, I am privy to several pieces of information. This aside, I am the secretary to the Contract payment committee. Subsequent upon the recent debt relief granted by the G8 Nations to the Republic of Ghana, the Government under the leadership of his Excellency, President John A. Kufour, has decided to pay off all the accumulated back-log of contract debts owed to both local and foreign contractors.
However, some of these contract debts span from the regime of his Excellency, Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah down to the PNDC government of Flt. Lt. John J. Rawlings and to his NDC government days even to the first tenure of President Kufour. To this effect, some of the contractors can no longer be traced as they have tried severally to receive their payment without success. Obviously, some may have died.
My proposal:
I wish to implore you to come in as our partner to claim the sum of $29.5 Million United States Dollars which is payment due some contractors who built the Akosombo Hydro-electric dam. The contract was divided in 3 phases. The civil contractors, the water engineers and the electrical engineering companies. I understand that you may not know anything about this subject and you may not even be conversant with the procedure for building a dam. But do not worry as we have covered all the bases.
All we need to do is apply for an initial payment of $9.3 Million United States Dollars for the first phase of the contract. As soon as this is successfully transferred to your account, we will apply for the other balance. You do not need to worry about the original contractors. This has already been taken care of. We removed some of the files when we took them for review. All we have to do is replace them with your company details. As soon as this is done, we shall approve your file for immediate payment. Once again, do not worry about this, it will be approved.
We have estimated that it will take between 10 and 14 working days to complete this project. Should you wish to participate, please contact me? You may be worried about the legitimacy of this; you may also be worried about if it were found out. The answer is do not worry; everything has been carefully thought out and planned. Should you have any questions of whatever nature, please do not hesitate to ask me. . There is no need for you to worry. Upon request, I can obtain and send to you, the official gazette approving the loan payment. We do sincerely hope to work this out with you.
As regards what is in it for you, we propose a sharing ratio of 70:30. 70% for us and 30% for you. If you have any problems with this, please note that we are open to negotiations so long as they are reasonable. Do accept our heartfelt good wishes as I look forward to your response.
Until I hear from you, I wish you and family the very best of life.
Jaime Arbaze
