ATTENTION:
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 Mr.Festus Ibe , the legal adviser to late Engr. Carlos Montoya until his death Four years ago in a ghastly terrorist attack to American Airlines Flight 11, from Boston, Massachusetts, to Los Angeles, California, crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Centre (WTC) with 86 people on board. All occupants of the Aero plane unfortunately lost their lives that lived in my Country Nigeria for 25 years before they he died in a plane crash . These couples were good Christians, they where 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.Carlos Montoya, 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 Engr Carlos Montoya, before his death. And as a matter of fact, after I sold all their properties, I realized more than $9,000,000.00(Nine 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 th e total amount left to be invested into God's work as instructed by the owner, is US$9 MILLION 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 had encounter with Christ when REV T.D JAKES 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 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/individual for the purpose of God's work as instructed by the owner before his death. 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, 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 bank where I deposited the fund that I am moving the fund abroad and the bank has since been waiting for my authority for the fund to leave my country to abroad. if you know that you will use this fund honestly and wisely for things that will glorify God's name. I will want you to reply through this emaill address:(barribefestus@tlen.pl) I will want you to send to me on your return email the following
information for the transfer in your favour.
1. Your full name and complete contact address.
2. Your Private telephone and fax number (urgent).
3. Your date of birth (Age)
Your prompt response will be highly appreciated.
Yours in Christ.
