I KNOW THAT THIS LETTER MAY COME TO YOU AS A SUPRISE ,PLEASE I WANT TO BE A DISTRIBUTOR AND A PUBLISHER OF YOUR EVANGELISM BOOKS,AM SOLICITING TO AFFILIATE MY ORGANISATION UNDER YOUR CO-OPEARTION. ANTICIPATING YOUR URGENT REPLY SOONEST YOURS BROTHER IN CHRIST (EVANG,SAMUEL EZE.
From: Father Ted Crilley Dear Sir, God bless you and how are you today? Your letter has come to the right place. My name is Father Ted Chilly of the Church of Bread and Wine (please see a photograph of one of our churches attached). We have nearly 300 churches in our ministry. I think I may be able to help Mr. Eze. You see, my church regularly makes charitable donations to worthy causes, and after speaking with my committee members, we are of the opinion that your cause seems very worthy and if you will allow us we would like to make a donation to your cause to help you forward the word of God in Nigeria, which I am told is already a very Christian country. Your case seems very worthwhile, and whilst we cannot donate large amounts ( because we have already made many successful donations this year ) I think that the church would be able to send you the small sum of US $74,330 (seventy four thousand, three hundred and thirty dollars). We are usually able to donate larger amounts but at the moment are funds are quite limited as we are at the end of our financial year. This money would be sent to you in a manner of your choosing, and hopefully it would enable you to forward the word of God much more easily. Of course, we do not send out payments without going through the proper procedures, so if you would like to claim the cash, these are the steps you will need to take: 1. The Church or Bread and Wine will send you a agreement form, which you will have to fill in and sign. 2. On receipt of the form, we will require a photograph of you, or a trusted representative as proof of identity. You will have to get a NEW photograph taken, holding two symbol of ours. The two symbols we need you to hold are a loaf of bread and a bottle of wine (the name of our church). This proves that the person in the photograph is genuine. Passport or other photographs will NOT be accepted. If you agree to the two conditions above, we will attach the agreement form for you to complete, and then after that we will explain to you what type of photograph we need from you. Please do not send a photograph until we have explained how we want the photograph to be taken. On receipt of a SATISFACTORY photograph, we will immediately forward the $74,330.00 to you in a manner of your choice. Please let me know ASAP if you are interested in my offer Mr. Eze and I will forward you the agreement for your signature ASAP. May God bless you, Father Ted Crilley

Bless him, he sends me three separate pictures. I have to admit, this lad is trying HARD to please me!]
[Time to mess with Samuel's head a little. I open up my own Yahoo email account under the name of [email protected] and send myself an email from a pastor Joseph Otumba in lad stylee! Then I contact Samuel....]
From: Father Ted Crilley Dear Samuel, Thank you again for the picture which you sent to me today and I am sure that the donation committee will be happy with them when they are seen in the next meeting. Samuel, I am sad to say that I have received a disturbing email this evening. I was sent an email from a pastor Joseph Otumba who also claims he is from the God's Love Bible Ministry. He is asking for money, clothes, books and other materials. I contacted him to tell him that I was already in contact with you (Samuel Eze) but he contacted me to tell me that there is no such person in his ministry. Please can you tell me what is going on, this is very disturbing. I have copied Mr. Otumba's email below for your examination. Do you know this man, and why is he claiming that his God's Love Bible Ministry does not know you? Sincerely, Father Ted Crilley. ----- Original Message -----
YOU MAY BE SURPRISED TO RECEIVE THIS EMAIL BUT PLESE DO NOT BE ALARMED. MY NAME IS PASTOR JOSEPH OTUMBA OF THE GODS LOVE MINISTRY IN LAGOS, NIGERIA. YOUR NAME WAS PASSED ON TO ME BY A CHRISTIAN CONTACT IN THE NIGERIAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND I WAS TOLD THAT YOU MAY BE ABLE TO HELP ME IN MY PLANS TO HELP THE POOR ORPHANED CHILREN OF NIGERIA . WE ARE LOOKING FOR GOOD CHRISTIAN PEOPLE TO SEND BOOKS, MATERIALS AND MONEY TO HELP US TO HELP THE MANY POOR CHILDREN WHO WANDER THE STREETS OF LAGOS STARVING AND POOR. MANY OF THESE WRETCHED CHILDREN DO NOT HAVE PARENTS BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN MUREDERED BY A BAD REGIME IN NIGERIA. MY LORD PLEASE HELP THESE PITIFUL CHILDREN BY SENDING SOME HELP FOR US. IF YOU CAN SEND MONEY PLEASE CONTACT ME AND I WILL SEND YOU INFORMATION HOW YOU CAN HELP. REMAIN BLESSED., JOSEPH OTUMBA [I wonder if Samuel will email Joseph Otumba to see what he's playing at?!]
Date: Wed, 22 Oct 2003 04:17:47 -0700 (PDT) DEAR IN THE LORD,
From: Father Ted Crilley Dear Samuel, Bless you sir for your reply. I contacted this Joseph Otumba again and told him that I would not communicate with him until he sends me proof of his church. He sent to me the following reply, and a photograph of of his church, so he seems very convincing to me. Perhaps you should make contact with him and ask him what is going on? His address is [email protected] I have to say that I am now very confused about this matter Samuel. I am not sure who I should trust now. Do you have a photograph of your church that you could show me? Please will you also send me your passport image (I will be happy to send mine in return). Please Samuel, is it a lot of money that I will be sending and I need to be 100% certain that it is going to the right person. I await your reply ASAP. Blessings, Father Ted Crilley.
----- Original Message ----- MY LORD MY FATHER TED MAY GOD BE SENDING BLESSING TO YOU AND YOUR HOLY FLOCK. SIR I IMPLORE YOU TO CEASE ALL COMMUNICATIONS WITH THIS PERSON KNOWN AS MY BROTHER IN CHRIST PLEASE SEE THAT I HAVE ATTACHED A PICTURE OF MY CHURCH PLEASE SIR LET ME KNOW THAT YOU HAVE GODS FAITH IN ME AND I WILL SHOW YOU MAY THE LORD BLESS YOU. JOSEPH OTUMBA [I attached my edited pic of God's Love Bible Ministry]
Date: Wed, 22 Oct 2003 12:35:55 -0700 (PDT) DAER IN THE LORD, [Samuel sends me a quite ridiculous picture he knocked up]
[This is of course not Samuel's ministry, but the Vatican in Rome!]
From: Father Ted Crilley Dear Brother Samuel, [I also send Samuel my made up letter from Joseph Otumba] From: [email protected] BLESSED FATHER TED. I HAVE SEEN THE EVIL PICTURE THAT SAMUEL EZE HAS SENTED TO YOU. PLEASE SEE THAT IT IS THE WORK OFF THE DEEVIL. THIS MAN HAS STOLEN MY MINISTRY PICTURE AND PUT WORDS BAD UPON IT. LOOK AT MY PICTIRE ATTACHED AND SEE THAT I AM TRUE AND FOR MY URGENT MESSAGE TO YOU. I ALSO SHOW YOUR MY TATOO FOR VIEWING. ONLY TRUE GODS LOVE BIBLE MEN HAVE THIS. PLEASE FATHER SEND YOUR HELP TO ME AS URGENT. JOSEPH OTUMBA. [I attach a new picture of the Vatican, along with a picture of a lad holding up a sign. It's a bit of a crap PhotoShop job, but hopefully good enough to fool Samuel! Keen readers may recognise the lads pic as that of John Ademola, from my "I PRAY TO DIE HENCEFORTH" bait]
[Joseph Otumba outside Samuel's ministry!]
[I think Samuel is starting to panic at the prospect of another lad receiving my donation] Date: Thu, 23 Oct 2003 05:11:05 -0700 (PDT) DEAR IN THE LORD, I HAVE GONE THROUGH YOUR MAIL AND NOTED THE CONTENT. MY DEAR BROTHER, THERE'S A TOTAL DEFFRENT IN THE CHURCH WHICH I SENT TO YOU, THAN THE ONE CLIAM PASTOR OTUNBA SENT. I WILL LIKE YOU TO GO BACK TO MY CHURCH BUILDING AND VERIFY THAT MY PERSONAL PHONE AND FAX LINE WAS THERE INCLUDING MY ADDRESS, ALSO GO BACK TO MY FIRST PROPOSAL AND VIEW THE ADDRESS AS WELL. AND I BELIEVED THAT I HAVE SENT MY NUMBER FOR YOU BEFORE ALL THIS MANUPILATION FROM CLAIMED OTUMBA. IF CLAIMED OTUMBA IS THE PASTOR OF GOD'S LOVE BIBLE MINISTRY, I THINK HIS NUMBER OR HIS NAME MUST BE THERE, TO SHOW REALLY THAT HE IS THE GENERAL OVERSEEA OF THIS MINISTRY. I WILL LIKE TO KNOW IF THIS CLAIMED OTUMBA HAS DONE THE PROCIDURE OF YOUR REQUIREMENT, THAT SHOWS {THE CHURCH OF BREAD AND WINE}NEVER ALLOW HIS REPRESENTIVE TO DO IT, LET HIM DO THAT ON HIS ON. THAT WILL SHOW REALLY IF HE IS THE PERSON IN THAT PICTURE HE SENT TO WITH THE CHURCH VIEW. ONE THING THAT GLADYS MY MIND IS THAT, THE BIBLE ENCOURAGE US IN MATTHEW 24; 5-8, AT THE END TIME THAT KINGDOM WILL RASE AGAINST KINGDOM AND THERE WILL BE SO MANY FAKE PROPHETS THAT WILL MISLEAD MANY, BUT WE SHOULD BE CAREFULL ANOUGH. THE ONLY THING ON ME IS THAT I SO MUCH BELIEVE IN GOD AND HE HAS NEVER FAIL ME. HE CLAIM MR OTUMBA FIRSTLY SENT YOU A BUILDING AND SAID THAT THE BUILDING WAS THE GOD LOVE'S BIBLE MINISTRY, THERE WAS NO ADDRESS, NO PHONE OR FAX NUMBER, NOW I HAVE SENT YOU THE REAL BUILDING OF OUR CHURCH, HE THEN SENT YOU ANOTHER BUILDING, WHAT ABOUT THE FIRST CHURCH HE SENT?. DEAR BROTHER, LET US BE SENSETIVE WITH THIS MAN CLAIM OTUMBA, BELIEVE ME, I WILL NEVER CLAIM WHAT I AM NOT BECAUSE OF MANEY,OR THINGS OF THE WORLD. THEREFORE, COULD YOU PLEASE ASK HIM TO GIVE YOU HIS PHONE NUMBER OR HIS FAX NUMBER.
IN SUMMARY, I WILL LIKE TO KNOW THE OUT COME OF YOUR CHURCH COMMITEES MEMBERS MEETING TODAY REGARDING THE DONATION NO. 11742/AE/SAMUEL EZE AND OUR FURTHER RELATIONSHIP. GOD BLESS YOU, REGARDS TO {THE CHURCH OF BREAD AND WINE}
From: Father Ted Crilley Dear Mr. Eze, I have looked at both of the photographs, and it looks very much to me like the same church, but of course from a different viewpoint. I will contact Mr. Otumba ([email protected]) and ask him if he has another picture to send to me. I am very confused by all this Samuel. I will have to be very careful now because my committee are demanding that I find some proof that what you are telling me is real and the same with Mr. Otumba. I have been meeting with the committee today and they have demanded that I get 100% proof before I can send the money. I have to know for sure WHO is the real God's Love Bible Ministry. As you have seen before, Mr. Otumba has sent to me a picture of his first church and I can see clearly on the sign that it is God's Love Bible Ministry. On your picture I cannot see if anything like this is written on your church. Do you have a close-up picture of the church? Also, Mr. Otumba said that ALL God's Love Bible Ministry members have a special tattoo on their bodies which has the holy words "SHAG ME". I was told that SHAG ME is the name of the holiest saint of the God's Love Bible Ministry. Tell me Samuel, do you have a tattoo with the words SHAG ME on your body. Mr. Otumba has sent to me a picture with the holy saint SHAG ME tattooed in black on his back. Do you have this OFFICIAL tattoo? Can you show it to me please? If you have this tattoo it will set my mind at ease. [I think you can all guess where I'm going here!] No, I did not yet receive your passport. Otumba has not done the procedure yet, but I shall ask him this so that I may be able to show it to you. I have included the last letter from Otumba below. God bless you and I hope to hear from you soon. Father Ted Crilley.
MY LORD FATHER TED CRILLEY I BESEECH YOU NOT TO LISTED TO THE BAD WORDS OF THE IMPOSTER SAMUEL. I HAVE TAKEN MY PICTURE OF MY TATOO AND ON MY BACK IS SHAG ME THE HOLIEST SAINT OF THE GODS LOVE BIBLE MINISTRY. ONLY THE TRUE BELIEVERS AND MEMBERS OF OUR CHURCH HAVE THIS TATOO. YOU MUST ASK SAMUEL EZE THAT HE MUST SHOW YOU HIS TATOO WITH THE SAINT SHAG ME. IF HE CANNOT DO THIS THING FOR YOU THEN YOU WILL KNOW FOR SURE THAT HE IS THE IMPOSTER. PLEASE BY THE PRESENTS OF ALMIGHTY GOD I DEMAND YOUR BELIEF AND YOU MUST SEND TO ME THIS DONATION YOU SPAEK OF. ONLY THE TRUE PERSON CAN USE THE MONEY SO WISELY. TELL ME THAT YOU HAVE BELEEF IN ME MY LORD AND I WILL SEND YOU MY DETAILS TO SEND ME YOUR DONATION. LOOK AT MY TATOO AND SEE THE TRUTH MAY GOS LOVE BE WITH YOU ALWAYS,. JOSEPH OTUMBA
Date: Thu, 23 Oct 2003 10:01:10 -0700 (PDT) DEAR IN THE LORD, I RECEIVED YOUR MAIL OF TODAY AND THE CONTENTS THEREIN NOTED. THE ATTACHED MAIL YOU RECEIVED FROM SO CALLED MR. OTUMBA HAS ALSO BEEN UNDERGONE THROUGH AND HIS ANXIOUS FOR YOUR MONEY REFFERED. MEANWHILE, FROM OUR FIRST DAY OF OUR COMUNICATION, IT HAS BEEN CORDIAL UNTILL NOW THAT YOU'VE PROMISED TO SEND THE DONATION TO OUR CHURCH. PREVIOUSLY, I HAVE SENT TO YOU ALL COPIES OF MY PHOTOGRAPHS YOU REQUESTED FROM ME AT EARLIEST. AT THIS TIME, I WONDER WHY YOU SHOULD EVEN BE LISTENING TO SO CALLED OTUMBA & CO AFTER OUR LONG TERM COMUNICATION AND RELATIONSHIP SO FAR EXISTED. I HAVE TOLD YOU EARLIER THAT I HAVE ONLY (2) ASSISTING PASTORS NAMELY, 1}EVANG SAMUEL EZE. HOWEVER, I WILL SEND TO YOU OTHER ANGLES/VIEWPOINT OF OUR CHURCH FOR CONFIRMATION. BUT I WILL EMPHASISED AT THIS POINT THAT I AM NOT HAPPY THAT SOME PEOPLE WILL USE THE NAME OF OUR CHURCH TO EXTORT MONEY FROM CHEERFUL DONORS FOR THEIR SELFISH INTEREST. PLEASE I WILL ADVISE YOU TO STOP FURTHER COMUNICATION WITH THEM, THIS IS TO AVOID UNFORCEN CIRCUMSTANCES. YOU SHOULD UNDERSTAND THAT RIGHT FROM THE ANNOUNCEMENT AND PUBLISHING OF YOUR NAME AND YOUR INFORMATION IN OUR CHURCH BULLETIN, THAT WAS WHEN THIS SO CALLED OTUNBA & CO. GOT YOUR INFORMATION THEREAFTER PICK YOUR INFORMATION AND STARTED CONTACTING YOU. MAY GOD BLESS YOU. EVANG SAMUEL EZE
