MINISTRY OF HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES
ACCRA, GHANA.
Dear Sir,
We write to solicit your assistance for a transaction of mutual benefit;
believing that you will treat this with utmost confidence. We implore
you to excuse us of any embarrassment this letter might cause you, as
we have not met before.
I have the mandate of my colleagues in Ghana to solicit for your assistance
for a business/deal we want to execute with you. We are officials of the
Ministry of Health and Social Services (MHSS) in Ghana. This Ministry
awarded a contract of USD$115,800,000.00 (One Hundred and Fifteen Million,
Eight Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) to a foreign firm for the
supply and installation of Scan machines, X-ray machines, E.C.G machines,
Foetus heart and Fasting blood sugar machines for all the University Teaching
Hospitals in the country.
I and other senior members of my department (Contract Award Committee),
in the cause of writing the contract, we were able to over-invoice the
contract sum to the tune of USD$143,300,000.00 (One Hundred and Forty
Three Million, Three Hundred Thousand United States Dollars). And it might
also interest you to know that the original contractor who executed the
contract, have been paid their contract entitlement.
Now we are left with the over-invoiced sum USD$27,500,000.00 (Twenty Seven
Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars), for our mutual
benefit. All arrangements have been concluded on how this money will be
transferred. Our constraints lie on the fact that we require a foreign
firm to whom the money would be paid; the foreign firm will be portrayed
as the beneficiary of this amount as a contract sum. In fact, this is
why l am writing you this letter seeking your assistance.
NOTE : there is no risk involved in this transaction, as we have taken
care of all possible loopholes. As civil servants, we are aware that some
financial assistance will be required to successfully effect the transfer
of the funds. For this reason, we have generally agreed to reimburse you
with the sum of USD$4,000,000.00 (Four Million United States Dollars).
This would be your share in respect of your assistance, while the balance
of USD$23,500,000.00 (Twenty Three Million, Five Hundred Thousand United
States Dollars) have been mapped out for importation of telecommunication
equipment, and we also seek your help in this regard.
Please indicate your position on this matter. If you are not willing to
assist us, kindly keep the deal to yourself and inform us of your position.
It is also important l inform you that the officials involved in this
transaction, are top government functionaries who have put in years of
service in this country (Ghana). Therefore, for the maintenance of personal
integrity and prestige of all persons involved in this transaction, you
are implored to exhibit utmost secrecy through out the duration of this
deal. You are strongly advised to avoid discussing this transaction with
a third party as that could jeopardize the success of this transaction.
Meanwhile, all arrangements for the transfer have been properly organized
and further action awaits your response to this request. I am at the moment
on official assignment in Ivory Coast. In case you wish to speak with
me, you can call me on 225 05 306130. To enable you get through when calling,
make sure you do not exclude any digit from the numbers. (225 is the country
code), (05 is the area code, dial the 05 exactly the way it is, do not
exclude the zero).
For confidentiality sake, please do not send me email, the email address
is not a private one. Give me a call and we would arrange a better communication.
Thank you very much.
Mark
