Please notify the sender by return e-mail and delete this e-mail from your
system 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 are organisation of the work,but I do not need the rest and do
not want to have any direct dealingwith 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.
