Dear Madam,
I write this letter in appreciation for your explanation to the ban on teacher recruitment, and also to highlight key problems that have emanated as a result of your directive. It would be recalled that on September 25, 2013, I called you, Ms Benedicta Naana Biney on the phone and wanted to know the rationale for the current ban on teacher recruitment.
I must say that you did well in engaging me in that conversation, though I was not fully convinced with your explanation. From your explanation, it occurred to me that whilst you're doing your best in solving one educational problem, in this case eliminating "ghost names" from the government's payroll, a similar problem, if not a bigger one, is being created alongside without your knowledge.

Removing the auxiliary verb and using the -ing form of the main verb produces a present participle. In this case the participle is functioning as an adverb because it is telling something about the manner in which Garrett prevented an embarrassing fall. He did this tying his shoe. You can tell this by asking the following question: How did Garrett prevent the embarrassing fall? Tying his shoe.
