Cobblestone Missions Committee Refocuses Efforts

In a bold and unprecedented move, our fine missions committee at Cobblestone has decided to commit our entire 2011 missions budget to a promising opportunity on the African continent.

Working cooperatively with Dr. Clement Okon of Nigeria, Cobblestone is entering into a partnership with Okon to transfer the sum of $21,320,000 (US) into the church accounts. This money has been trapped in Nigeria and, due to Dr. Okon's position as a civil servant and member of the federal government contract review panel, he cannot acquire these funds in his name. However, he has agreed to share 1.20% of the fund with us, 2.70% with U.S. officials, 3.10% in settling taxation and all local and foreign expenses. The remaining funds will be used to set up Dr. Okon's importation business in the U.S.

In an email received just today, Dr. Okon said, "PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS TRANSACTION IS 100% SAFE AND WE HOPE TO COMMENCE THE TRANSFER LATEST SEVEN (7) BANKING DAYS FROM THE DATE OF THE RECEIPT OF THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION BY TEL/FAX 234-1-7740449, YOUR SIGNED AND STAMPED LETTERHEAD PAPER. THE ABOVE INFORMATION WILLL ENABLE US WRITE LETTERS OF CLAIM AND JOB DESCRIPTION RESPECTIVELY. THIS WAY WE WILL USE YOUR NAME TO APPLY FOR PAYMENT AND RE-AWARD THE CONTRACT IN YOUR NAME."

Obviously, the receipt of hundreds of thousands of dollars will make possible even more missions efforts in the future, and simultaneously help out this fine businessman and government official in Nigeria.

Once this transaction is complete, we plan to pursue similar partnerships with several Nigerian princes.

It's going to be great.
