Subject: URGENT OUTSTANDING PAYMENT.
Attention:
This timely contact comes as a result of the presidential announcement made last week regarding the federal government decision to payoff all outstanding contractual debts to foreign contractors. To this extent, I have the mandate as the chairman of contract award committee under the public tender board of Federal Republic of Senegal to submit files of these contracts falling under category (A) payment to the relevant ministries for approval prior to presidential ratification and fund disbursement.
The essence of this information is to seek your personal involvement in receiving the sum of $13.2million which accrued from over invoiced contracts under my special arrangement with the multinational company that handle most of the construction projects through the ministry of works and housing. I have used the previlege of my office to compile this outstanding amount as sub-contract for material supplies to the original and principal contracting firm, which has already received 100% payment, leaving the balance mentioned above for the sub-contractor according to my initial agreement with them.
Upon your consent, I will direct you on how you will assist me to collect this money, because i have kept the file pending when i will get a foreign partner like you to front for this payment under my guidance.The project is risk-free and the process pre-arranged for a hitch-free exercise, ensuring that the fund will enter your nominated account within two weeks of the submission of an application in your favour through my office.
For the sake of efficiency and security reasons, I have contained this programme within the span of my office and given your full cooperation, the deal will be sealed and delivered according to the agenda. I await your earnest reply as a pointer to the way forward and endeavour to include your direct phone number for my call on receipt of your response.
Regards.
Malik Doe
