Dear Sir
RE: VETTING OF PERFORMANCE GUARANTEE
A/C UNITED Z COMILLA POWER LIMITED.
We refer to your letters dated 22.12.99 & 23.12.99 and subsequent telephonic discussions & meetings you had with one of our associates on several occasions lastly on 29.12.99 on the above subject. We have perused the drafts of the Performance Guarantee and other papers/documents referred to us.
As regards the revised draft sent by United Z Comilla Power Limited (USCP Limited) forwarded to us on 23.12.99, it appears from the 3rd clause (The payment will be made ……………………………….with the concurrence of the Beneficiary) that the Guarantee is a conditional one, which is contrary to the precondition of issuance of the unconditional Construction Bond by One Bank Limited on behalf of USCP Limited in favour of the Chairman, Rural Electrification Board (REB). As such it is not acceptable.
In view of the above observation and the request made by you, we are enclosing herewith a draft Performance Guarantee prepared by us in the light of your draft Performance Guarantee forwarded to us.
If you have further query please contact the undersigned.
Thanking you
Yours faithfully
