   Beloved in Christ,   
      
   It is a priviledge to write to you and to relate my   
   testimony.   
   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 $25,000,000.00(twenty 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 Osakwe.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.Some times I think of the souls I   
   killed when I   
   was a soldier and the dubious ways I diverted my country?s money into my   
   Personal Bank Account 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(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.   
   My Pastor has adviced me to sneak out of the country with the money to sow   
   it into a ministry abroad. I have decided to sow this money into your   
   ministry.   
   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 has been packaged by the security company inconsignments and ready   
   for 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 for claim of   
   the consignment over there.   
   I look forward to your response   
   God bless you.
