Subject: HAPPY BLESSED DAY
Dear Beloved in Christ,
It is by the grace of God that I received Christ, knowing the truth and
the truth have set me free. Having known the truth, I had no choice than
to do what is lawful and right in the sight of God for eternal life and
in the sight of man for witness of God?s mercy and glory upon my life.
I have the pleasure to share my testimony with you, having seen your contact
from the Internet. I am Barrister Phillip Okonma., the legal adviser to
late Mr. and Mrs. Ben Brown, a British couple that lived in my Country Nigeria
for 25 years before they both died in the plane crash late last year. These
couples were good Christians, they so dedicated to God but they had no child
till they died. Throughout their stay in my country, they acquired a lot
of properties like lands, house properties, etc. As their legal adviser,
before their death, thehusband Mr.Ben Brown instructed me to write his WILL.
Because they had no child they dedicated their wealth to God. According
to the WILL, the properties have to be sold and the money be given out to
a ministry for the work of God. As their legal adviser, all the documents
for the properties were in my care.
He gave me the authority to sell the properties and give out the fund to
the Ministries for the work of God. In short, I sold all the properties
after their death, as instructed by Mr.Ben Brown before his death. And as
matter of fact, after I sold all their properties, I realized more than
US$30,000,000.00 (Thirty million US dollars), and what supposed to be the
percentage interest of my right legal fee was firstly deducted by me out
of the total amount realized from the sold properties, this was base on
the initial agreement between me and the owner of the properties before
his death. Therefore the total amount left to be invested into God'swork
as instructed by the owner, is $30,000,000.00 (thirty million US dollars)only.
But Instead of giving the main fund out for the work of God asinstructed
to me by the owner before his death. I converted the fund to myself with
the intention ofinvesting the fund abroad for my personal use.
I was afraid of putting thefund in the Bank, because I have to give account
to the bank on how I got themoney. I then packaged the fund in consignments
and deposited theconsignment with a security company I had encounter with
Christ when Pastor Benny Hinnwas preaching on television concerning Ananias
and Saphira in Acts 5:1-11. After hearing the word of God, I gave my life
to Christ and became a born again Christian. As a born again Christian,
I started reading my bible and one day, the Lord opened my eyes to Ezekiel
33: 18 and 19 where the word of God says: "When the righteous truth from
his righteousness, and committee iniquity, he shall even die thereby. But
if the wicked turn from his wickedness, and do that which is lawful and
right, he shalllive thereby". From the scripture, I discovered that the
only way I couldhave peace in my life is to do what is lawful and right
by giving out the fund as instructed for the work of God by the owner before
his death. I have asked God for forgiveness and I know that God have for
given me.
But I have to do what is lawful and right in the sight of God by giving
out the fund to the chosen ministry for the purpose of God'swok as instructed
by the owner before his death. After my fasting and prayers, I asked God
to make his choice and direct me to a honest Christian or the chosen ministry
that deserves this fund by his Grace. I then came across your email address
on the Internet as I was browsing through a Christian site, and as a matter
of fact, it is not only you or your ministry that I picked on the Christiansite
initially, but after my fervent prayer over it, then you were nominated
to me through divine revelation from God, so these are how I receivedsuch
a divine revelation from the Lord, how I got your contact information, and
Ithen decided to contact you for the fund to be used wisely for things that
will glorify the name of God.
I have notified the Security Company where I deposited the consignments
that contained the fund, that I am moving the consignment abroad and the
security company has since been waiting for my authority for the consignment
to leave my country and move to abroad. You should also forward to me your
telephone and fax number for easy communication and to fax you the documents
concerning the consignments. Your prompt response will be highly appreciated.
yours in Christ
Barrister PHILLIP OKonma.
