Subject: ATTENTION:
Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I fear no
evil; for you are with me; Your rod and your staff they
comfort me. Psalm 23:4 .
Beloved in Christ, It is a priviledge to hear from God and
it gives me joy to relate my testimony to you haven
recieved instruction from God through divine revelation.I
was a Moslem and a retired military top officer in Nigerian
Army that served under the past military regime.
I was the financial secretary to the Armed Force Ruling
Council (AFRC). With my position as a financial secretary,
I was able to divert up to $25,000,000.00(Twenty Five
million U.S Dollars, into my personal Bank Account, hoping
to invest the money when I am retired.Immediately I got
retired, I was converted from Moslem to Christian when I
was preached the words of God through my cousin Pastor PAUL
MUSA. I then gave my life to Christ and became a born again
Christain. Since I gave my life to Christ, I had no rest of
mind.Some times I think of the souls I killed when I was a
soldier and the dubious ways I diverted my countrys money
into my Personal Bank Account.
I then decided to seek the face of God for forgiveness and
after fasting and prayer through Divine Revelation, the
Almighty God revealed to me that the only way I could have
rest of mind is when I used all my money to do the work of
God. I immediately disclosed my revelation to my Pastor and
he was happy with me.I have been thinking of the particular
thing to do for my God before this present civilian
president of my country set up a panel (Honourable Oputa
Panel) to probe the Bank Account of the past Military
officers like me.
Instead of loosing this money to my Government,I quickly
withdrew my money out of my Account and deposited the money
in a finance and security company for safety.My Pastor has
adviced me to sow this money into a ministries work abroad
like yours. I have decided to sow this money into your
ministry.
I am making arrangement to come over to your country but
you need to receive this money from the finance and
security company in cash before I come over. The cash has
been packaged by the security company in consignments and
ready for shipment but the security company requires the
address of the receiver. Please send to me your names,
address andyour tele and fax number where I can fax the
Airway Bill to you to claim the consignment overthere.
I will be coming over to your ministry with my family for
thanks giving as soon as I sent out this money to you.
Please actfast because I dont want the panel to know that I
want to leave the country, they might suspect my intention
to leave now that the probe is going on.
I look forward to your response God bless you.
PLEASE CONTACT ME VIA michael_musa20@mymway.com
YOURS FAITHFULLY
APOSTLE MICHAEL MUSA
