Attn Owner/Ceo,
My name is Mr. Dula Shanko, I work with the government of Ethiopia as
the Head of Data Management And Dissemination Department, National
Meteorological Services Agency (NMSA), P.O.BOX 1090, Addis Ababa ,
Ethiopia . I got your contact through the online directory provided to
me by a staff working with the Procurement Division of the European
Delegation to Addis Ababa, although I did not discuss with him the use
of the directory.
In December 9th, 2007, the Ethiopian Government and the European
Commission signed the Ethiopian Government Strategy paper and National
Indicative Programme.
In the Strategy paper, a total sum of EUR644m was set aside for
allocation referred to in article 3.2(a) of Annex IV which covers
purchase of various products required to support the Indicative
programme. Another EUR30M was set aside for investment into any
profitable business venture as referred to article 3.2(b). Please
follow the link below for more information:
http://ec.europa.eu/europeaid/where/acp/countrycooperation/ethiopia/ethiopia_en.htm
I am writing you this letter for two good reasons which shall benefit
both of us immensely. I want you to study this carefully and inform me
which of the two areas you are capable to work with me.
First, out of the total EUR30M mapped out to cover allocations for
article 3.2(b), the total sum of EUR15M is enough to cover the
government investment purposes. I will need your assistance to invest
the remaining balance of EUR15M with you for our mutual benefits. The
funds shall be shared into three equal parts, (EUR5M) for you, the
other balance (EUR10M), for me and my associate in the European Union.
I have perfect modalities on ground with my associate in the European
Union to facilitate the movement of this sum (EUR15M) to your bank
account. Our share shall be used for investment with you if you can
provide me with a clean and profitable investment plan.
Secondly, we need the purchase of various products to cover the
allocations referred to in article 3.2(a), for the upcoming government
program, the program is jointly sponsored by the European Commission,
and the government of Ethiopia
The program is aimed at (1) Providing Agricultural, Textile,
Building/Construction and Industrial Equipments and Materials to equip
the Ethiopian People to produce for themselves (2) Refurbishing of all
government schools, army and police colleges through the provision of
children playing (Toys) and learning materials, Computers and other
Data Equipments, (3) Provision of immediate relief to the Ethiopian
people through the provision of food products, materials, products and
services in the health sector, hospital and lab equipments, drugs,
textiles, shoes and belt, Educational and learning Materials,
Environmental and waste Disposal Equipments and Materials, etc.
I am also the Ethiopian government representative for the purchase
negotiation and award of supply. I am very interested to work with you
if you are in the position to supply products in large quantities on
the areas mentioned on the condition that you will be ready to cover
our personal interest in the purchase. If you will accept to
inflate/mark up the total amount of whatever quantity of products that
will be purchased to extra 100% in your quote, I am ready to stop
further negotiation with other companies in this area and will
facilitate the award of the supply to you and 100% upfront payment by
TT to your bank account.
Actually in the feasibility studies, we intentionally inflated the
budget to additional 100%. My duty is to facilitate the approval of
your quote/pro forma invoice and award of the supply to you. I have the
modalities worked out with my partner who is a senior official of the
European Union to make sure the supply is awarded to your company
without any hitch and 100% TT to your bank account upon confirmation of
order.
The extra money will be paid to us when you have received the total
supply amount. Please note that due to our personal interest in this
matter, this matter must be treated with absolute confidentiality. The
order shall be placed as soon as I have finalized discussions with you.
Kindly study the two areas carefully and inform me the area you are capable to work with me.
Awaiting your urgent response
Mr. Dula Shanko
