Subject: GOD'S BLESSING.
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 Graham Brian, 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, the husband 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 $5,000,000.00 (Five million US dollars
plus), 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's work as instructed by the owner, is $5,000,000.00 (Five
million US dollars) only. But Instead of giving the main fund out for the
work of God as instructed to me 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 consignments and deposited the consignments with a security company. I
did not want the management of the Security Company to know the content of
the consignments, therefore I registered the content of the consignments as
Gold Bars. Now, the security company believes that what I deposited with
them was Gold Bars.
I had encounter with Christ when Pastor Benny Hinn was 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 shall live thereby". 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 giving out the
fund to the chosen ministry for the purpose of God's wok 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 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 Christian
site initially, but after my fervent prayer over it, then you were nominated
to me through divine revelation from God, so these are how I received such a
divine revelation from the Lord, 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 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. 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 back first through this my email address:graham_brian23@myway.com for
more details. You should also forward to me your physical contact address
were you will like the consignments delivered
to you,your direct 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.Graham Brian.
