Subject: A TOTAL AMOUNT OF 17 MILLION ONLY


ATTN SIR
I am a preacher with the Faith Harvest Ministry,and I will like to get advice from you.I believe the advice I need is secular to some Extent, but do have the patience to understand my intention. A few year's ago I was in Liberia were I had established a little congregation where I preached regularly,but the civil war escaleted and the church was converted to a hospital of sourghts. On one faith full day three Liberian Soldiers came to me and left trunks of Money with me and swore to come back for it. When the war in Liberia intensified I deposited this boxes in a security vault ,I was escorted by the ECOMOG soliers who felt the content of the trunks were documents and never cared to check the trunks,I was air lifted to South Africa then,I stayed in S.AFRICA and when I was getting fraustrated I returned to Liberia AND find out that two of the three Soldiers died in Battle while the last was decleared MIA (Missing in Action)After thorough investigation of the trunk boxes,i dis!
covered
that the two trunk boxes had a Total Amount of $17 Million USD (Seventeen Million United States Dollars)which was unknown to me from the very begining. Considering the fact that there was no possiblility of the soldiers coming back for their funds,On my arrival to S.Africa for Arrangements I Deposited the fund in a Security Company S.AFRICA I am interested in using a small fraction of this money,much less than %30 percent for Organisation of the work OF GOD,but I do not need the rest and do not want to have any direct dealing with it.but I need someone who will be able to use the fund better maybe for charity or something universally profitable,I have thought of doing it myself but,my ministry is the apocalypse and I believe and preach the soon coming of the Lord I will be glad if you have any interest in the direction of maybe managing The Fund.i will give you all the relevant information with which you can lay claims to the funds.response urgent For more and clear Details
Pastor Okinsam
