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 LEWIS 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 and your telephone 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 givingas
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.
YOURS FAITHFULLY
APOSTLE MUSA DESMONED.
