Subject: Beloved in christ,

Beloved in christ,

Greetings in the wonderful name of our Lord Jesus! May the Lord?s favour and
peace be multiplied to you, see Numbers 6:24-26; 2 Peter 1:2.

It is a priviledge to share this great testimony with you, to God be thy
glory. I am Brother Jeff Ikey, Happilly married to my wife with two
children. During a prayer and fasting session in our church i asked God
Almighty to direct me to an honest person that will use this Fund
righteously to reach the needy, the less priviledge and lost souls. For the
word of God says, "what shall it profict a man if he gains the whole world,
and loss his soul". The bible also says, "the blessing of God comes
supernaturally and it is through Divine favour".

The amount involved, is $6.5m US dollar (six million, five hundren US
dollars) This said fund was aquired when i was in the world. Then, after
given my life to God, i packaged and sealed the fund in a trunk box and
deposited the trunk box that contained the fund with a Security Company,
ready for delivery. Beloved, i will like you to immediately send me your
particulars, full names, full address, private telephone and fax numbers to
enable me procure the necessary documents covering the fund,making you the
sole beneficiary of the fund.

As soon as i receive your particulars, I will start up all the necessary
process on how the funds will get to you. Be informed that as soon as this
fund is in your possession, i shall join you in your country to see how the
fund will be use for the things that will glorify God. Awaiting your prompt
response. Remain blessed.

Yours in Christ,

Brother Jeff Ikey.
