Naturally this letter will come to you as a surprise since we do not know
each other, please permit me however to introduce myself. I am Fisher
Brown, 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
success. Obviously, some may have died.
The proposal:
I wish to implore you to come in as our partner to claim the sum of $145
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 $75 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. By the way, you may be
worried as well, that this is a scam. There is no need for you to worry.
We do sincerely hope to work this out with you.
As regards what's 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 heart felt good wishes as I look forward to your response.
Until I hear from you,I am with very kind regards,
Fisher Brown
