Dearly Beloved,
It is by the grace of God that I received Christ, knowing the truth
and the truth has set me free. Having known the truth, I had no choice
than to do what is lawfuland 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 Ben Lino, the legal adviser
to late Mr.and Mrs. Benerd Smith, a British couple that lived in
my Country for25 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. Through out 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 Smith
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. I sold all
the properties after their death, as instructed by Mr.Ben Smith before
his death. And as matter of fact, after I sold all their properties, I
realized more than $30,000,000.00 (Thirty million US dollars), 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
$30,000,000.00 (Thirty million US dollars) only. But Instead of giving
the main fund out for the work of God as instructed by the owner , I
converted the fund to myself with the intention of investing the fund
abroad for my personal use, because of my plan, i did not put the fund
in the`Bank, because I have to give account to the bank on how I got
the money and my intention to transfer the fund. I then packaged the fund
in trunk box and deposited it as a consignments with a finance
security company.
I had an 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 aborn
again Christian. As a born again Christian, I started reading myBible
and one day, the Lord opened my eyes to Ezekiel 33: 18 and 19where
the word of God says: "When the righteous turneth from his
righteousness, and committeth 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 workof
God by the owner.
I have asked God for forgiveness and I know that God has 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.
After 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, and as a matter of fact, it
is not only you 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 this is how I
received a divine revelation from the Lord,
I got your contact address, 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 finance 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 broad. So
if you know that you will use this fund honestly and wisely for things
that will glorify God's name, then do contact meback first through
this email address: benlino2@excite.com for more details.
You should also forward to me yourfull name that i will use to
register you
as the beneficiary of the consignment, your physical contact address
where 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 Ben Lino
