Subject: DONETION FOR GODS WORK
Dear in Christ,It is a priviledge to hear from God and it gives mejoy to relate my testimony to you haven recieved instruction from God through divinerevelation.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 $5,000,000.00 (Five million U.S Dollars, into my personal Bank Account, hoping to invest the money when I'm 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 Ovie.I then gavemylifeto 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 whenI was as oldier and the dubious ways I diverted my country's money into my Personal Bank Account. I then decided to seek the face of God for forgivenessandafterfastingandprayerthrough 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.the panel is long over and the money was not discoveredI have decided to sow this money into the propagation of the kingdom work. this neccesitated my contact with you.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 was packaged by the operations manager, he is a very reliable friend and declared the content of the consignment as Gold bars.i did this to avoid being asked how i gotthe money. the management of the security company does not know that the consignment contains money.I have notified them of my intention of shipping the money abroad.they are waiting for me for the shipment but the security company requires the address of the receiver.Please send to me your names, address and your telefax number where I can fax the Airway Bill to you to claim the consignment over there.I will be coming over to your ministry with my family for thanksgiving as soon as I sent out this money to you. Please act fast 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 blessyou.Mr. Sunny Ovie
