Though I have a million things that I SHOULD be doing, I kept thinking about that scam message I got today. I created an email address and wrote him back:
Brother Attah,
I have spent the last twelve hours weeping joyfully and in deep prayer. I could hardly believe it when I received your message. How could such a bright beacon of hope shine from a place so far from the blessings of our Lord Jesus Christ?!?
You see Brother Attah, the depth of the miracle taking place here is deeper than you could begin to suspect. My name is Sylvester Sipe and I was born in Down Creek, Ohio. My mother’s name was Jennifer Marion. Yes Brother, I was the product of an unsanctified union. Though I know the blood of the lamb has washed away that shame, I will carry the stigma with me until I go on to met our Father in Heaven.
Before my mother came to know the glory of the Lord… she was nothing but a whore, brother. She engaged in the vilest acts with any number of men. I am ashamed to have to share this with you. The point is my story is that 30 years ago she spent the summer with a man named John Sipe. A man of great means but of little moral character, he left my mother when he discovered she was pregnant. We never knew where he had gone, only that he had left the country. He left us with nothing and I have spent my life looking for him. Thought I was devastated to learn of his death, the knowledge that he has left such wealth that can be put to the Lord’s good work gives me some comfort. To find out about my father and to learn of his death in the same day… the Lord does test us, my brother.
So you see, I can do more than step forward and claim this gift as someone that just shares a last name. I can step forward as the son of John Sipe with a birth certificate to claim this inheritance that the Lord has blessed me with.
I was saddened (but not surprised) to learn of the corruption in your bank, these men that would have taken this money left behind by my father. Fox News has warned us here in America of the dangers of foreign banks, just look at the financial mess this sorry world is in right now. I think the Lord has given us the power to turn the tables on your thieving masters. Who in your government (does your country have a government?) should I contact to have these men arrested? Who should I contact to claim this inheritance that Jesus desires I do his work with?
I know by aiding me you will become a target of the terrorist and criminals in your country. Fear not Brother Attah, I would never leave the man who brought this good news to my attention to live in the squalor you now know. That’s right brother! As soon as I can claim my father’s money I will see you are brought to America! I can only imagine you must be beside yourself with this news!
Please Brother Attah, write back as quickly as possible and let me know what we need to do to claim my father’s wealth and put it to work for the glorification of the one true God. My thanks and more importantly my prayers are with you Brother Attach. I most anxiously await your reply.
Yours forever in Christ,
Brother Sylvester Sipe
