Subject: MAY THE GLORY OF GOD BE UPON YOU
Dear Friend,
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 EVANGLIST ROSELINE COLLINS. the legal adviser to late Mr.
and Mrs. Bright
Williams, a British couple that lived in my Country Nigeria for 35 years
before they both died in a plane crash late last year. 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. Bright Williams 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 ministries,organisations and individuals of noble intention
in life for the work of Humanity. 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,organisations and
individuals of noble intention in life for the work of Humanity . In short,
I sold all the properties after their death, as instructed by Mr. Bright
Williams before his death.And as a matter of fact, after I sold all their
properties, I realized more than $11,000,000.00 (Eleven 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 in the specified areas as instructed by the owner, is
US$10.76 MILLION only. But Instead of giving the main fund out 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 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 angels asinstructed by the owner
before his death. After my fasting and prayers, I asked God to make his
choice and direct me to a honest individuals,organisations and ministry that
deserves this fund by his Grace. I then came across your address on the
Internet as I was browsing through the sites, and as a matter of fact, it
is not only you,organisation and your ministry that I picked on the sites
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 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. if you
know that you will use this fund honestly and wisely for things that will
glorify God's name and that are capable of engendering meaningful livelihood
to man, then do contact me back first through this my email address. You
should also forward to me your telephone and fax number for easy
communication.
Your prompt response will be highly appreciated.
Yours in Christ.
ROSELINE COLLINS
