Subject: " A LIFE IN YOUR HANDS"
Beloved in Christ,
You've Got To Believe First!,
In John 11, the Bible records the story of Jesus at the tomb of Lazarus.
Before He got there, Lazarus' sisters Mary and Marth, had come to Him one
after the other and said, "Master, if you had been here four days ago, our
brother would not have died".
To God be the glory, that you are my earthly saviour. This mail may come
to you as a suprise, but belive me, i don't know myself why i have choosen
to contact you. But God knows best. In short, i am a man by name Fred .J.
Odion, who was diagnoised cancer. And the Doctor said that, if i do not
undergo an opreation in the next one month, that i am going to die. The
opreation which will cost (US)$1,000,000.00 .
I am a man with one wife, and 32yrs old. And just four months ago, the
sweert Lord blessed me and my wife with a set quardplet (2 boys & 2 girls).
Althougth, myself and some other caring members of my family and my
christains brothers and sisters have been able to raise together only 15% of
the (US)$1,000,000.00, but the doctors is demanding 30% before the carry out
the opreation after much begging. Days from now, i know my opreation will be
carried out, knowing that God
who spoke to me to write you this mail must have a reason for this
blessing, just as i saw it in the dream. I am very sorry for any from of
disturbance or feeling this mail migth cause you. this is because, i don't
even know you or the nature of problem you have. I am saying this, for the
fact that "every man on earth have a problem of one nature or the other,
either "positive or negative". But, i am writing you as a result of God's
revelations to me in the dream about you as my earthly saviour. Any given
amount, will be assectped in good faith, for as the saying goes"half bread
is better then none".
Please also know that, i am not computer oriented and it is one of my
christain sisters that is helping me to send this mail througth her mail
box. For easy collection of what ever amount of charity you are about to
send to me in God's good faith, in other for me to effect my the opreation
now before my dead line, i thank you. Please send the Money transfer
througth the WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER to the (Receiver name : Oisamaiye
.G. Momodu ) and the (Location : NIGERIA). Thanks for your faith in God
word. Please send all particulars of transfer to (email :
raymound73@excite.com). My pastor's email box address. For easy collection.
May the Good Lord bless you and your family, ten fold, in Jesus name i
pray, Amen.
Fred .J. Odion
