Praise God,brother/Sister

Calvary Greetings to you and your entire staff/congregation. I decided to communicate with you as the Holy Spirit moved me.

I am Pastor.Peter David, of christ the king Ministry London. (AKA.SOLUTTION/MIRACLE CENTRE) Worldwide,basicallya prayer and deliverance ministry. I am equally a retired banker of Cometh International Bank London.

Since I recieved my calling and joined my Ministry,I have been asking God to purify what remains of my wealth for Evangelical works and for Orphanage.On the last day of a special fasting and praying session in my Ministry, there was a divine revelation from God that I should invest in your Ministry. My investment will come from proceeds of a certain 'deal'I did with my late foreign customers/friend Late Mr.William Knudson an American who unfortunately lost his

life in the plane crash of Alaska Airlines Flight 261 which crashed on January 31 2000,

I did while I was a staff of Cometh International Bank London as an unbeleiver. At that time,there was an illegal transferred of money by my late friend to my bank which I used the advantage of my position as a Director to the tune £10.5Million British Pounds Stering.

I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin / Will Beneficiary. It is my intention to realise the sum of £10.5Million British Pounds Stering using you or your ministry as a foreign partner because of the confindence I repose in you as co-faithfuls and believer. You only need to provide an account where the money will be transferred into and every other procedures will take place here. It is my desire according to the direction of the holy spirit to channel this money to the work of God only. The bible says that we're new creatures, old things are passed away and behold new things....As a born again christian a beleiver in Jesus Christ, I have totally submitted my life to the wishes of our lord redeemer and saviour and as such I dedicate

all my endowment to the service of humanity for the love of God who sent his only begotten son, Jesus to shed his precious blood for our sins. As you know, our good God is and cannot be an an author of confussion and he is ever faithful and merciful not to lead us into unrighteousness and

there's no doubt that his good desires and designs for our life must be accomplished since the gate of hell cannot prevail against the work of GOD.please kindly respond to my private email address pastorpeterdavid2@yahoo.com

Yours brother in Christ

pastor Peter.David

Christ the king
