From: "John Paul" <johpaul92@biz.by>
Date: Fri, 18 Jul 2008 12:48:05 +0200
Subject: Peace be with you
Peace be with you
I know this message may be strange to you, but it's how God has wanted it to
be, I am Mr John Paul by name, the former Director of operation with a bank
in Cotonou, Republic of Benin, but am presently in China for investments
programme, I left Benin 2weeks ago after I received a big blessing from God
through a fund that was abandoned in our bank by a late customer.
I used my position in our bank there to transfer a big amount of money to a
foreign account that belongs to a China who is presently with me here in
China. I transfer this money out from our bank after I noticed that some
Government officials in our country there, were planning to confiscate the
money and use it for their selfish interest .
So I decided to contact this my partner in China to come and claim the
money, which he did successfully, but before I went into the risky
transaction with my partner, I first prayed to God and made a strong promise
that I shall donate 10% of my total share of the money to the less
privileged ones to any society.
Thank God today that all was done successfully which made me today to search
for a CHARITY ORGANISATION at the internet who I can offer the amount I
promised my God before the transaction, and luckily for you that you are the
first person I got his contact after the search, you should not just see it
as a luck but should consider it as the will of God.
Right now, you should contact my Church pastor. in Benin, his name is
pastor. Markson Dums and his email is ( pastormarksondums@gmail.com ) ask
him to send you a Bank Draft of One million two hundred thousand US Dollars
($1.200.000) which I kept with him before I left for China. You should
quickly contact him concerning the Bank Draft and be informed that I have
forwarded instructions to my pastor on your behalf. Just contact him and
instruct him on where to send you the Bank Draft.
Please inform me as soon as you receive the Bank Draft so that I can thank
God for the promise fulfilled. Finally, make sure you utilize the money for
the help of the less privileged .To God be the glory.
Regards
John Paul
