URGENT AND CONFIDENTIAL
Beloved in Christ, you might be supprise or wounder
how did I get your address, I got it when I was
reading through one of this foreign magazines,
and 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
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 $5,00,000.00
(five million us 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(Pastor jakes) 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. 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
to probe the Bank Account of the past Military
officers like me. Instead of loosing this fund to my
government, I quickly withdrew my fund out of my
Account and deposited the money in a finance and
security company for safety.
My Pastor has adviced me to sneak out of the country
with the money to sow it into a ministries abroad. I
have decided to sow this fund into ministry in your
country. I am making arrangement to come over to
your country but you need to receive this fund from
the finance and security company in cash before I
come over.
Because I have alredy through a diplomatic services
lodge or deposit the above sum of US$5,000,000.00 with a
RELIABLE FINANCIAL SECURITY COMPANY IN EUROPE. And
it is on this note that I am soliciting for your
assistance to help Me receive this amount into your
account as I cannot do it on my own because of
security reasons and because of the code of conduct,
which was introduced by our President
to checkmate excess embezzlement and siphoning of
the government and public funds to overseas country.
So because of this nobody can transfer huge amount
of money in the bank to another country or travel
with it.
I will be coming over to your country with my family
for thanksgiving as soon as I hear from you and you
confamed to me that, the fund is in your account.
And I have two options based on your anticipated
efforts and contributions I have resolved to give
40% commission and the remaining 60% percent will be
for my missionary work, or if you will like to be my
partner in the work of God. It will be my pleasure
to be able to co-operate with you on terms that you
may wish, please reach Me with the Email address
stated below(kingsraph@yahoo.com) it will come to me privately.
Remain Blessed,
