Subject: Dear Beloved
Dear Beloved,
It is a privileged to hear from God and it gives me joy to relate my
testimony
to you haven received instruction from God through divine revelation. And
I have the pleasure to share my testimony with you, having seen your contact
from the Internet. I am Peter Okomma. the legal adviser to late Mr./Mrs.
Michael couple that lived in my Country Nigeria for 32 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, the husband Mr. Michael,
instructed
me to write his WILL. Because they had no child, they dedicated their wealth
to God. According to the WILL, theproperties have to besold 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, after their death, I sold all the properties as instructed
and I was able to realized $21million US dollars), Instead of giving the
fund out for the work of God as instructed by the owner before his death,
I converted the fund to myself with the intention of investing the fund
abroad for my personal use. 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 then
packaged the fund in a trunk boxes and deposited the trunk boxes with a
security company. I did not want the management of the Security Company
to know the content of the trunk boxes, therefore I registered the content
of the trunk boxes asGold Bars. Now, thesecurity company believes that
what I deposited with them was Gold Bars.
I had encounter with Christ when Pastor Paul Oyede was preaching the word
of God on television. 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 and 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 giving out
the fund to the chosen ministry for the purpose of God's work 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 thatdeserves this fund
by his Grace. Ithen came across your address on the Internet as I was
browsing
through a Christian site, so this is how I got your contact information,
and I then 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 trunk boxes that contained the fund. that I am moving
the boxes abroad and the security company has since been waiting for my
authority for the boxes to leave my country and move to abroad.
So if you know that you will use this fund honestly for things that will
glorify God's name, then do urgently contact me back first through this
my private email address only and the details will be given to you on how
you will be able to receive the fund in your country through the security
company. You should also forward to me your telephone and fax number for
easy communication and to fax you the documentsconcerning the trunk boxes.
Your promptresponse will be highly appreciated,
Yours in Christ.
Peter Okomma
