In a jam.

So the NDDC awarded me the tender and I replied as requested. I hadn't told Martin I had heard from the NDDC so sent him a message asking if he had heard anything from them. He emailed a few times over the weekend but of course I ignored them as I don't work weekends!! I put him out of his misery this morning!


My reply to the NDDC

Dear Mrs Mary Okoro.

Many thanks to the NDDC for awarding me the contract to supply my goods for your project. I am acknowledging receipt of the documents and wish to know how we proceed to the next stage.

May I take a moment to thank you for choosing my company. We only produce the highest quality goods and can assure you that you won't be disappointed with the outcome.

Yours sincerely

Grey Being.

A message from me to Martin

Good afternoon Martin

I hope you are well this afternoon.

Since submitting my completed Form A2 the the NDDC, I have yet to receive a reply. I was wondering if you had heard anything from them yet? Did you say you were going to meet with them once you had a copy of my completed form? If you check your emails, I did send it to you.

I don't wish to be impatient but time is money Martin and big business waits for no-one.

I look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible on this matter.

Regards

Grey.

And from Martin to Me

Dear Grey,

Just coming back from their office, a lot of things are going on, they have started awarding contract to companies that passed their pass mark. I spoke with their secretary,here in Nigeria nothing goes for nothing i tried my best. So she assured me that your name will be among those that will receive contract letter either today or. tomorrow.

So all we need now is favor and prayer. Do update me if you hear from them.

Regards,

Martin

Another couple from Martin

Dear Grey Being,

Regards,

Martin Eze

Dear Grey Being,

Have you receive the award letter or contract from them?Update me please.

Regards,

Martin

Finally I reply!

Good morning Martin!

And what a wonderful morning it is too! On arriving at the office this morning (rather late as I got stuck in traffic behind a lorry carrying strawberries and pectin that had broken down and caused a massive jam.) I checked my emails to find that the NDDC have awarded me the contract!! I received 4 pieces of documentation relating to the award from the NDDC that confirm they wish me to supply the goods for their project.

So Martin, where do we go from here? I have already hired extra staff to help complete the order as it's by far the largest we have ever won. They will be working overtime to complete the order. This is the first time my company has undertaken such a contract and it is rather different from  our usual ones. We usually just supply individuals and small companies so this is a wonderful opportunity for us to get our products out there in the wider world.

I really must take this opportunity to thank you for acting on our behalf as agent. You have brought an amazing opportunity to our company and I will be forever grateful to you. High Lord Rezillo has marked a special role for you once the conquest is complete.

Fond regards

Grey
