At least this is a new one for me. A calendar reminder just popped up on my
cell phone from my google calendar - Burning Bush Ministries. I opened the
event on google calendar and found this

BURNING BUSH MINISTRIES
Accra Ghana,

My name is Rev. Lawrence Gil, I am 82 yrs old of age from Israel and I
reside at No 5 F line Haatso Accra, Ghana. I have seven branches as a
ministry in Ghana, 2 in Ivory Coast, 1 in Sierra Leone and also 1 in
Gambia. I have many investment and good shares in various banks in Ghana. I
have spent all my life on ministry and cooperate business both in Ghana and
some other African countries.
I am a very godly man with all cost I care about orphanage and privileged
people, since when I had an experience of my difficult to sleep and give
rest. Later in the year 2010 November I got a medical report, as my
personal doctor testified that I have lungs cancer at a very bad stage,
which can easily take off my life soon. I found it uneasy to survive
myself, because a lot of my investments cannot be run and managed by me
again. I lost my family back in Israel before i moved to Ghana, and since
then, i have only lived to do the work of God. I make donations, to
churches, motherless baby/orphanage homes/people that need money for
survival so they will have food on their tables. This i do from One nation
to another.
Therefore I am writing this letter to all God fearing people, who can take
up this work from me since am no longer as strong as i used to be to be
able to continue doing this work of God on my own, to contact me urgently .
I have made lot of donations here in Ghana, Ivory Coast, Sierra Leone and
Gambia, so I deem it right to extend it around the world and i pray you
will accept this upon yourself to bring this dream to actualization and
extend this service of humanity to as many many more cities and places as
possible around you.
A well detailed explanation of this all, will be given to you upon your
response. Now am so much with God, and already feeling like a new born. Am
no longer afraid of death curse i know it mite come anytime and i will be
with my God. May the lord bless you as you reach me, and may your days be
long as you accept this wonderful work of God to Humanity.
To keep you informed, if your intentions will be to accept this money and
convert to your personal use without using it for the work of God, You
better not respond at all, because the punishment for such an act will be
great. This does not mean that you will not keep any part of what ever you
receive for yourself and family, but at least 80% of what ever received
should comfortably go into helping other. Like i said earlier, I will give
more information to you as I await your response immediately. May the lord
bless you as you reach me.

Best Regards
Rev. Lawrence Gil

How did this guy insert this event in my private google calendar??? I only
access my google account via a browser and my android phone. Has my phone
been hacked? Has my account been hacked? Oh dear, the sky is falling, what
should I do?? ;)

Thanks,

Mark
