Subject: Contract oppurtunity in Ghana....Please study carefully
Dear Sir,
Top of the day to you, my name is Josh Martins and I am a consulting
Engineer for the West African Gas
Pipeline Project. This is a 678 kilometres long pipeline from the gas
reserves in Nigeria's Escravos region
of Niger Delta area to Benin, Togo and Ghana. It is the first regional
natural gas transmission system in
sub-Saharan Africa.
The 569 kilometres long offshore section which runs through the waters of
Benin, Togo and Ghana parallel
to the coastline, approximately 15 kilometres to 20 kilometres offshore in
water depths of between 30 metres
and 75 metres. The new Nigerian onshore section connects the offshore
section compressor station at Lagos
Beach with Nigeria¹s existing gas grid. Together with the Chevron-owned
existing Escravos-Lagos pipeline,
operational since 1989, the total length of pipeline is 1,033 kilometres.
My company is an environmental consultancy agency based in Ghana, West
Africa and we carried the
environmental impact assessment on the project. The project has not taken
off because of leaks detected
from the Nigerian side. This, however, is not the issue. The issue is that
we have detected the sum of
US$36.9 Million lying dormant in the accounts of the West African Gas
Pipeline Co. Ltd which is the
company formed to oversee the project.
I wish to seek your consent to use your details to apply for payment of the
said amount as a contractor for
the project. You might want to ask why I cannot apply for this sum on my own
and keep it all to myself.
Believe me, it was the first thought that occurred to me. However, there are
technicalities involved which
cannot be surmounted should I attempt to do it by myself. First, my company
has already been paid for the
environmental consultancy and we received the payment two years ago.
Secondly, I cannot be involved
directly with the above mentioned dormant amount for the simple reason that
all contractors, aside those
of us who carried out the initial assessments, were carried out by foreign
companies and individuals.
Therefore, it would be tough for me to claim the funds on my own.
However, should you wish to assist in this, we will prepare documents to
ascertain that either you or your
company carried out Flow Testing on the project. This way, there will not be
any need for us to provide any
other sort of physical evidence as to your carrying out the contract. The
documents we put together will be
inserted in the appropriate quarters for the purposes of verification. You
may rest assured that I have carefully
thought this out and there is no risk of it not going through. As a matter
of fact, there is no risk involved in
the project.
Should you assist, you will receive 40% of the total sum, 10% will be set
aside for expenses to be disbursed
according to what amounts each of us spend in the process of actualising the
project, which I shall retain
50% as the finder of the project. I do understand that you will have several
questions and I am willing to
answer them to the best of my ability. Kindly email me a response through my
alternate email address
josh.martins@hydroghana.com. This is simply because the issue is sensitive
and my secretary has access to this
email.
Do accept my heartfelt good wishes as I look forward to your response. With
very kind regards,
Josh Martins
