Subject: TESTIMONY FOR YOU
ATTENTION:
Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I fear no evil; for you are
with me; Your rod and your staff they comfort me. Psalm 23:4. Beloved in
Christ, 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 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 am retired.Immediately
I got retired, I was converted from Moslem to Christian when I was preached
the words of God through my cousin Pastor LEWIS MUSA. 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 countrys money into my Personal
Bank Account.
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 (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 sow this money into a ministries
work abroad like yours. 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 in consignments and ready
for shipment but the security company requires the address of the receiver.
Please send to me your names, address and your telephone and fax number
where I can fax the Airway Bill to you to claim the consignment
overthere.
I will be coming over to your ministry with my family for thanks givingas
soon as I sent out this money to you. Please actfast because I dont want
the panel to know that I want to leave the country, they might suspect my
intention to leave now that the probe is going on.
I look forward to your response God bless you.
YOURS FAITHFULLY
APOSTLE MUSA DESMONED.
