Subject: FROM EVANGELIST KOSSI ADABARA...............REVALATION!!!
Dearest in the Lord,
I am quite convinced of the fact that this will come to you as a surprise. however I am writing based on the privilege information I gathered about you in internet during my extensive search.
I am Kossi Adabra an evangelism co-ordinator to Pastor Bangura Tambi,the Founder and the General Overseer of Christain Pentecostal Ministries Khartoum,Sudan.
During the upsurge(Civil and Military Unrest) in sudan, which led to the death of the Vice President John Garang,and precisely on the 27th of June,2005,some military personnel identified as Arab militias(Rebels),came into my church for refuge when the goverment led forces took over their locations in some parts of the city Khartoum,with a box classified as containing Military gadgets for safe keep.Upon enquiry,one of the Arab Militias who were about seven in number intimated me of the actual content of the box to be money worth us$5.7m meant for the payment of allowances of the militias on duty.They left after two days being on the 29th of june,2005 and never came back to me again.
With the almost complete control of khartoum,by the Government led forces anchored on the African Union,United Nations and the batallion of soldiers from Ecowas,lots of people were transported by military escort to the United Nations Refugee Camp in Darfur,sudan.
By zoning,I was lifted back to Lome-Togo Ecowas refugee headquarters with my belongings.Upon confirmation of the content of the box,I decided to deposit the box at UNITRUST SECURITY AND FINANCE COMPANY for safe keep on the 25th of july,2005 under the coverage of church materials for security reasons.
I am an evangelist by calling and at present in Accra-Ghana,an English speaking West African country where I hope by the grace of God to cover the country by way of evangelism.I do not really know when I will get back to Lome-Togo.As such,you are mandated to contact the security company in lome-Togo as the next of kin to Pastor Bangura Tambi which I have earlier specified on the form I filled before depositing the box with them on the availability of the Next of kin coming forward for the box.Only you,I and God know the real content of the box.You are equally directed by revelation to use the money in the box for the Charity and the Orphanage in your country.Any other thing is secondary.You must also promise me to use this money as divinely directed.
Due to my evangelical movement I can only be reach through this E-mail address for more instructions on what to do.
Remain Blessed.
Yours in the Lord’s service,
Kossi Adabra
