Subject: Brethren,
Brethren,
Isaiah 1: 18 said " Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord
though your sins be as scarlet they shall be as white as snow; though they
be red like crimson, they shall be as wool It is by thesame grace that i
write you today, having known the truth, i am compleed to the will of Him
who has called me.
For the witness of God's mercies and glory upon my life that i count it a
previlege to share my testimony with you, having gotten your contact from
the internet. I am Joseph William, an attorney to the late Mr and Mrs David
Yuen,and America couple that lived in my country Nigeria for 20years before
they both died in an ill fated plane crash late last year.These couples were
dedicated christians , believers in the word and act. They until their
death believed God for a child but they never had any . Whilst in my country
they invested in Real Estate and the Oil Industry. They were weatlthy in
every sense of the word.
As their Attorney, before their death, the husband Mr David Yuen instructed
me to write his WILL.Because they had no child or any known sibiling, they
bequeathed their wealth to God's work.According to the WILL, the properties
have to be disposed and the proceeds realised channelled into a ministry
for the work of God or any humanitarian endeavour. Being their attorney, all
the documents for the properties were put 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 line with their Will, i sold off their properties
after at their demise.To be candid i ealised over $2.500.000.000 million
(Two Million Five Hundred Thousand USD) My rightful paymnent for my legal
fee was deducted by me from the total amount realised from the sale of the
properties, this was premised on the initial agreement between my clients
and my humble self before their death. The total sum to be set aside for
funding of the Gospel as instructed Mr David Yuen is $2.500,000.000 (two
Million Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars) only. But Instead of giving the
fund out for the work of God then, as initially instructed by the owner
before his death, i fraudulently converted the funds for to my personal use
with an eye for investment abroad for my evil benefits,against the ultimate
wishes of the original owners.
I was afraid of putting the fund in the Bank, because I have to give account
to the bank on how I got the money. I used a Finance company which has an
overseas office to deposit the funds . The Finance and security company on
my instructions has since moved the funds to their office in Europe. But
praise be to God that in that we were yet sinners Christ died for us, i had
an encounter with God when Dr Benny Hinn came on a three day crusade to my
country on the 29th of April 2005. Subsequently my eyes were opened to the
book of Acts 5:1-11 about Ananias and Saphira and the book of 2Kings 5:20-27
about Gehazi the servant of Elisha, i was so ashamed of my act greed and
selfishness. In my personal study of the word of God i came accross the book
of Ezekiel 36:26-27 that says "A new heart also will I give you, and a new
spirit will I put within you and I will take away the stony heart out of
your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes,
and ye shall keep my
judgments, and do them" I confessed my sins of greed and illegal
appropriation of another man wealth. From the scripture, I discovered that
the only way I could have 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
forgiven me. But I have to do what is lawful and right in the sight of God
by chanelling the funds into the Lord's ministry work or for Charity 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 contacted you,
and as a matter of fact, it is not only you or your ministry that I picked
initially, but after my fervent prayer over it, then you were nominated to
me through divine revelation from God.
The Finance Company where I deposited the funds i did notify that i will
soon transfer the deposit out of their custody to a recepient. So if you
know that you will use this fund honestly and wisely for the things that
will glorify God's name, then do urgently contact me back first through
this mail and the details will be given to you on how you will be able to
receive the fund in your country.For avoidance of doubt, i make bold to say
that i will will be responsible for any financial commitment in the course
of the transfer funds to you. So if you know that you will use this fund
honestly and wisely for things that will glorify God's name, then do
contact me and you should also forward to me the following informations
below.
1, Full name.
2, Name of your ministry/charitable organisation
3, Full contact address
4, Your telephone number/fax number

Yours in Christ.
Barrister Joseph William.
