I am a preacher with the SEED HARVEST
MINISTRY,and I
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 escalated and
the church
was converted to a hospital of sourghts.
On one faith
full day three 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 ,I was escorted
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 England with
other refugees
then,I stayed in England and when I was
getting
fraustrated I returned to London where i
am ministering
presently only to find out that
two of the three Soldiers died in Battle
while the
last was decleared MIA (Missing in
Action).
After thorough investigation of the trunk
boxes,i
discovered that the three trunk boxes had
a total
amount of four million United States
Dollars($4.m)
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 the
Netherlands.
About five months later we receive a
message from from my assistant
where I
was conducting a crusade that the last
sodier came now having a chronic
cancer being hospitalized in one of the
African Hospital.
I quickly rush to see him only to
discovered that his condition was above
critical
tried to speak with his doctor,his doctor
advised he gives his life to God as he
haes just few weeks to die.Before his
death he instructed us the church to
donate the money to ophanage home or
somethig graetely beficiary to the
Almighty..
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 as the soldier have
suggested,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 telephone 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.
Regards,
Pastor William Hagler.
