To Whom It May Concern!

I received an email from a complete stranger, today, which seems to follow a pattern. I do not own Vodafone, yet I have received emails from a number of strangers giving the impression that I do. I do not know if some of the telecoms companies in Ghana have “dirty tricks departments” – but the emails of the type I have copied below, seem to be the work of some dirty tricks department of a telecoms company that thinks it can trip me up, somehow.

Incidentally, I have also received phone calls on my radiophone “smartphone” asking me if I was “Vodafone.” Even when I have politely told the caller after the call is repeated a second time that I am a private individual who treasures his privacy and would she kindly not disturb me any further, it has gone on in the same vein.

Whoever the morons are that are behind this pure nonsense on bamboo stilts, who think they can trip me up, may I please inform them that I am sorry to disappoint them, but that Kofi Thompson is not a crook? He is only a patriot who loves his country – and resents imbeciles who take our nation for a huge ride, also trying to trip me up and taking the Mickey on top of that outrage, too.

Kofi Thompson wants to be left alone – and let those who resort to such inanities understand that in future I shall forward their email to The Insight Newspaper - who will deal with them appropriately. A word to the wise… The email I received is reproduced below and readers may make up their own minds about it:

"GREETINGS MR. KOFI THOMPSON Inbox
