Calvary Greetings,

I am a preacher with the Seed Harvest Ministry,and l
will like to get advice from you.I believe the advice I need is secular

to some extent,but do have the patience to understand my intention. A
few year's ago I was in Liberia were I had established a little congregation

where I preached regularly,but the civil war escaleted and the church
was converted to a hospital of sourghts. On one faith full day three
Nigerian Soldiers came to me and left trunks of Money with me and swore
to
come back for it. When the war in Liberia intensified I deposited this box
in a
security vault in europe, I was escorted to Europe by the ECOMOG soldiers
who
felt the content of the trunks were documents and never cared to check the

trunks,I was air lifted to one of the countries in europe with other refugees

then,I stayed there and when I was getting fraustrated I returned to Africa

only to find out that two of the three Soldiers died in Battle while the

last was decleared MIA (Missing in Action). A fter thorough investigation

of the trunk boxes,i discovered that the three trunk boxes had a total
amount of fourteen Million United States Dollars($14,000,000,000) which
was
unknown to me from the very begining. Considering the fact that there was
no
possiblility of the soldiers coming back for their funds, arrangements were

immediately made to have the funds deposited in a suspence account with
a
commercial bank in abroad .(the particular country in abroad i will diclose
as
soon as you indicate your intrest) I am interested in using a small
fraction of this money,much less than one percent for a re-organisation
of the
work,but I do not need the rest and do not want to have any direct dealing

with it.but I need someone who will be able to use the fund better maybe
for
charity or something universally profitable,I have thought of doing it myself

but,my ministry is the apocalypse and I believe and preach the soon coming

of the Lord which make me not indulgent in reliance on money or wealth in

any form.I will be glad if you have any interest in the direction of
maybe managing or transmitting the fund as you prefer in your capacity and
understanding.
please if you are interested, i would want you to send me the
following informations:
1.Your legitimate name,
2.Your contact address,
3.Your phone number,
4.Your fax number.
with all these informations,i will take it that
you are interested and the funds will be transferred to you in
provision of the above informations,and as such you will be the only one
who
can lay claims to the fund and then,i will give you all the relevant
information with which you can lay claims to the funds.but i want you to
note
clearly that you will pay for the activation of the account before you can
be
given full access to the account and you will promise me that you will use

the fund for good deeds. I will be glad to get a response from you to
show your interest.
My Regards,
Rev. Jonathan Williams
Seed Harvest Ministry Inc.
