Dale recently posted a thread about the Nigerian scams. I just received a new version of it from Zimbabwe:
Attn: Aaron Walden
My Dear Brother in Christ,
May the everlasting peace of our God Almighty be with you and your house hold Amen.
Brother, it was out of my sincere desire that I wished to share with you the blessings God has showered upon me and my Family. Before I proceed I would like to humbly introduce myself to you.
I am Bro Michael Ndlovu, a student of St. Stephen’s Bible college in Ekwuluobia Local Government Area of Harare, Zimbabwe, the first Son of Late Rev. Dr. Samuel Ndlovu, the Founder of the Redeemed Pilgrim Church of God in the Harare Zimbabwe, the former Director of the UNICEF. My Father Died from cancer on the 15th April 2002. Untill his death, he has helped many deaf organizations in my country and in some other African countries and has helped some Motherless Babies home. He has in the past learnt to invest his wealth in Heaven rather than here on earth. Being his first Son, he has thought me the same way and ever since then I have not departed from serving God because in Him I find refuge and everlasting peace.
Before my Father died he called me as his first son and advised that I should carry out whatever instruction he his giving to me and that if I should follow his footsteps, serving God and committing all I have to Him that I shall leave longer.
My Dear Brother in Christ, with sincerity of purpose, my late Father before he died told me that he deposited the sum of USD2.5 MILLION into one security Company in Malaysia and that his aim of depositing this money there was because he has a Pastor friend there where he wanted to invest the money in his church, buying more facilities in the church and expanding the church as well as drawing more souls to God since malaysia is mostly dominated by muslims. He said by doing this the God’s work there shall be promoted. He therefore instructed me that I should go to the Security Company, release the money and invest it in any where I like, but it must be in the house of God or orphanage home. Ever since my Father died, some of my friends who are easily carried away by the things of the world have been advising me to make use of the money, invest it in some other businesses that can yield me unwanted interest, but as a Born again Christian I keep telling them that I cannot do any thing contrary to what my father told me, and I must not do any thing that will not give glory to God.
Just two weeks ago precisely, I met an Evangelist and his name is Stephen Khamis from Sudan, we are in the same Bible School and he explained to me that he has a contact, he said he has visited your country in the past with his father. He gave me your contact that I should get intouch with you, discuss with you so that I may come over, we arange and get this money from the security company and invest in your organization. I want no returns from you, but all I need from you is to ensure that the money is well used to promote the good work of God in your area of Christian career. All this is to ensure that I carry my Father’s instructions out. What I want to make clear to you Brother is to promise me that the money will not be privately used.
Brother, I want you to get to me by email to enable us proceed on this. I will arrange, come to malaysia and we get this money out of the security company.
May the Almighty God guide and protect you.
In His service.
Bro. Michael Ndlovu.
