The funds is safe.I have been using the bank for over twenty years now.I
will be going to the hospital anytime for major operations.Except it pleases
God,the chances of my survival is slim.God has specifically told me to help
the less previledged people with my money.

please i solicit to receive the money,invest it profitably and use it wisely
for the less previledged people in your country.If you can receive this
money and carry out this soul surviving transaction,kindly email immediately
your following contact details:

a.Your complete names

When I receive your above information,I will furnish you more details onhow
the funds would be claimed by you from the bank.Thereafter,I will give you
instructions on how the funds will be invested and distributed among the
orphanages and less previle dged in return.The Lord has already told me
that I would find a trustworthy person who can carry out this soul
surviving transaction.

While I await your response,may God bless you and your family.

Thank you.

Rev.Benedict John.
