In the letter, she requested Exclusive Events Ghana to reconsider the implementation plan as she is unable to continue with the projects assigned her.

Dear Management of Exclusive Event Ghana –Miss Ghana Foundation,

Good morning.

Unfortunately, I am unable to continue as Miss Ghana in the present circumstances. I will be grateful if re-cut an implementation plan. I propose a meeting on 1st August, 2018 to re-cut specific details.

Best Regards, Margaret Dery.

She recently took to her Twitter handle to vent her anger at the organisers, revealing the unpardonable experiences she had as a beauty queen.

Reacting on Twitter, the 2017 winner of Miss Ghana, Margaret Dery labelled the Miss Ghana beauty pageant brand as a big shame.

She advised other ladies whose sole interest is to be crowned a Queen to be circumspect since there is absolutely nothing positive about the crown.

According to her, being a Miss Ghana Queen has been one of the worse experiences of her life.

“Being a miss Ghana queen has honestly been one of the worse experiences of my life, yeah, I know it looks good on the outside but it’s just one big sham on the inside. All that glitters is not gold. Ladies, you don’t need a crown on your head to succeed.

“Never be afraid to raise your voice for honesty, truth and compassion against injustice, lying and greed. No more will I cover up for anyone that doesn’t deserve it. The whole world will know the truth soon.” Margaret Dery posted on Twitter.

According to sources, Miss Dery had tried some months ago to relinquish the crown but was persuaded by her family not to.

Meanwhile, Exclusive Events Ghana will on August 2, 2018 launch the 2018 edition of the pageant.
