Dear MR  Jen

GREETINGS IN THE NAME OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST,

I am Deacon. Mark Edwards, a member of Spring of
Life
Ministries Inc.  I was formerly into the importation
and sale of medical equipment in my native
country,Sierra – Leone. My operational based was in
Freetown the capital city.

In January 1999,when the second civil war broke out in
my country, the Revolutionary United Front Rebels, who
invaded Freetown, burned my office and warehouse. In
that attack, I lost all my properties and assets.  I
was left with virtually nothing, except some money I
had in the Bank.  When the United Nations sent in
troops to quell the rebel’s onslaught and there was a
relative peace in Freetown, I returned to business,
but this time, I invested my resources in the Mining
of Diamond through the help of a third party, some
Lebanese who were very grounded in the industry to
Antwerp in Belgium. The  returns I got from this
business were quite good and my life was gradually
picking up again until early this year when the
Sierra-Leonean government banned private exportation
of the Diamond at the international market.

The U.N. obliged the government and it is now illegal
to sell/buy Diamond emanating from Sierra-Leone.
Following this action, the government of my country
clamped down on all businessmen who had made fortunes
selling Diamond.
Consequently, my newly acquired properties were seized
again and I had no option than to leave the country
immediately to a neighboring west African country,
where I met our Lord Jesus Christ and my life was
totally transformed.But before I left I was able to
first move my money out of the country. I
had$10,500,000 (Ten Million, Five Hundred Thousand
United States Dollars) in my
domiciliary account in Freetown. I had to move the
money out of the Country through a very secret
arranged channel, in a very unconventional method;
this was done by my friend an official at the
“Security Minting & Printing Company” of my country.

Presently, this money is in an Oversea Country, under
the custody of a private security firm.
My ministry is basically a prayer and deliverance
ministry.  Since I received my calling and joined my
ministry, I have been asking God to purify what
remains of my wealth for evangelical works and for
orphanage.  On the last day of  a special fasting and
praying session in my ministry, there was a divine
revelation from God that I should invest in your
ministry.

My God is not an author of confusion.
Contact me immediately  for further discussions.

Your brother in Christ,
Deacon. Mark Edwards
Please "Beware" of what you may find in your email!
The Following is a non edited copy of an email I received.
This email is like many others we receive here almost on a daily basis.

And though they anger me, to think of the people that can be taken in by these, "This" one Angered me a "Great Deal"!!

In the United States, there is little that law enforcement agencies can do about these types of mailings. 
At least that is what I have been told.
So the best solution I can come up with is "Awareness"...The Following is a "Sample" of what "NOT" to fall prey too!  And my "reply" to the sender.
(I normally don't even do that, but "this" one, really made me angry.)
Please remember "Any" place that is legitimate, will offer you way's of verification.   Like "winning" a large amount of money from a source in Canada,, but you have to "Pay" the "Duty" on the prize money so it can cross the country.
Always make some "Calls" ..
Always ask questions!! If you really did "win" they won't take your "prize" away from you for "asking" and "Never" Give out any account information!
Talk to your banker,, or better yet,, tell your "Savior" to give you their number and your banker will contact them!!

Like this email "below" for example.. I really doubt I will hear back from them, about "where" they can send there money too.. "The Relief Fund" !!

  Hello Deacon?

I find your email disturbing, yours is not unlike
others I have received, money in far away places,
people asking for "help" to retain funds, and with
promises of huge rewards to the party that favors
these results for your funds returned to you.
"Your" Email is particularly disturbing, as you are
proclaiming this an act of the lord.

Taking advantage of lost, or kind souls, people with
real goodness in their hearts, at a time when "they"
are what "this" world "needs" most!!

If that is true, how is a Deacon, comes to such
monies? And "why" were the funds filtered out of the
country and not helping the poor of your own nation??

I do what I do from my heart, and ask no funds from
another.
And the Lord "has" provided me the ability to do that,
I live a modest means.. In other words.. I do not have
any assets of any kind..in any place.

"I" am a single mother, striving to give hope to those
that have lost it, to share the lessons of my life,
that brought me great pains, to teach children that
they do have worth..
If you "Are" who you say you are, I will put you in
contact with a place your funds can do the most good.
And would request a "verifiable" email address.

And with that,, Blessings & "Light" to you and yours,
"Miss" ~Jen
