Subject: DEAR BELOVED IN CHRIST
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 MIKE ADAMS the legal adviser to late Mr. and Mrs.
James D. Freeman,a British couple that lived in my Country Nigeria for 25
years before they both died in a plane crash late last year. These couple
were good Christians, they were 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. James D. Freeman
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.
To cut the story short, I sold all the properties after their death, as
instructed by my client,Mr.James D. Freeman before his death. And as matter
of fact, after I sold all their properties,expectedly, I realized a huge
amount of money that runs into millions of dollars,and what supposed to be
the percentage interest of my right legal fee was firstly deductedby me out
of the total amount realized from the sold properties, this was based 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 $2,000,000.00 (five million US dollars) only. But
Instead of giving the main fund out for the work of God as instructed to me
by my client 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 got the money. I then
packaged the fund in consignments and deposited the consignments with a
ecurity 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 thatwhat I
deposited with them was Gold Bars. I had encounter with Christ when Pastor
Benny Hinn was preaching ontelevision 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. 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 my client.
I have asked God for forgiveness on my initial thought concerning the
money,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 my client 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 inistry that I picked on the Christian site initially, but after my
fervent prayer over it, then you were nominated through divine revelation
from God, so that was 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 be moved 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,ASAP.Then you send to me in your reply,YOUR FULL NAMES,YOUR PERSONAL
ADDRESS,YOUR TELEPHONE AND FAX UMBERS.These informations are required by
the seurity company to facilitate the process of the funds receiver's
documentation Your prompt response will be highly appreciated in my private
email adress (mrmike_adams404@yahoo.com.tw)
God bless you.
Yours in Christ.
BARRISTER MIKE ADAMS
