Dear Sir,

I am the chairman of Ghana Procurement Committee  appointed by the Government of Ghana to approve contract award/payment of the Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF). The PTF is a dedicated account, set up by the Ghana Government, whereby a certain percentage of income derived from crude oil export by the Government is set aside for the purpose of ameliorating the sufferings of the oil-producing communities. This aim is achieved by the provision of good roads, pipe borne water, electricity, hospital, school, e.t.c. Other purposes include the rehabilitation of projects whose uses are directly for the benefit of the masses such as maintenance of oil installation in the country. Our duties include the evaluation, vetting and approval for payment of contract jobs done for the PTF.

On the 10 of February  2010, I and my Committee awarded a contract to a foreign firm,  to a total value of US$20 Million for the procurement of engineering equipment and the construction of several projects in Ghana.

My colleagues and I decided to over-inflate the contract sum to the value of US$24.5 Million, with the intention of sharing the US$4.5 Million amongst ourselves. The  Government has subsequently approved the amount of US$24.5 Million to this Committee as the contract sum. The sum of US$14.5 Million has been approved for the disbursement to the foreign companies concerned as the mobilization fee for the contract. However, as the companies concerned are only entitled to a total contract value of US$20 Million, we intend to transfer the surplus of US$4.5 Million abroad into a safe and reliable account to be shared amongst ourselves with our share to be used in opening a company in your country or to buy shares.
Note:for your assistance we offers you 30% of the total sum.

Best Regards,
Dr Kwesi Mensah(Chairman GPC)
Ghana Procurement Commission.
