ALLOCATED TO THIS AGENCY BY THE PAST CIVILIAN GOVERNMENT THAT
HANDED OVER POWER TO THE DEMOCRACY ADMINISTRATION THAT IS GOVERNING
THE POLITICAL SOVEREIGNTY OF THE REPUBLIC OF GHANA AS AT
NOW. ON DISBURSING OF THE US$1 BILLION FOR ELECTION PURPOSES, ABOUT
US$8000 MILLION WAS UTILIZED IN CONDUCTING ALL THE ELECTION WHILE
US$200 MILLION WAS LEFT AS BALANCE OUT OF THE USD$1BILLION GIVEN TO
MY AGENCY INEC.
HAVING CONCLUDED ALL STAGES OF THE ELECTION AND THE NEW
GOVERNMENT ALREADY IN POWER, IT WAS LEFT FOR MY OFFICE TO GIVE
ACCOUNT OF ALL EXPENSES UTILIZED IN CONDUCTING THE ELECTION AND

NOTE. OUR REASON FOR CONTACTING YOU IN THIS CONFIDENTIAL
TRANSACTION IS DUE TO THE FACT AS TOP CIVIL SERVANTS WORKING UNDER
GOVERNMENT ESTABLISHMENT OR CORPORATION WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO
OPERATE FOREIGN ACCOUNT AS IT IS AGAINST
THE NEW GOVERNMENT ANTI CORRUPTION CODE OF CONDUCT BUREAU AND
ON
DISCOVERY THAT WE HAVE ACCESS TO FOREIGN ACCOUNT, WE SHALL BE
DISMISSED FROM SERVICE IMMEDIATELY AND BASED ON THIS DIFFICULT
SITUATION, WE HAVE NO OTHER OPTION THAN TO LOOK FOR A RELIABLE
FOREIGN PARTNER TO ASSIST US IN TAKING THIS FUND OUT.
