Subject: LETTER FROM CHRISTOPHER
CHRISTOPHER MAX & CO. CHAMBERS.
(Legal Practitioners)
Blk 812-Law House Building
victoria island, Lagos - Nigeria.
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 Christopher Max, the legal adviser to late Mr. and Mrs.
Robert g.Walsh, an australian couple that lived in my Country Nigeria for 19
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,houses, etc. As their legal adviser,before their
death, the
husband Mr. Robert Walsh 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, after their
death, I sold all the properties as instructed and I was able to realized
$5,000,000.00 (Five million US dollars). Instead of giving the fund out for
the work of God as instructed 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 turn away from his
righteousness, and commit 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 work 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 for things that will glorify God's name,
then do urgently contact me back and the details will be given to you on how
you will be able to receive the fund in your country through the security
company. You shouldalso forward to me your telephone and fax number for easy
communication and to fax you the documents concerning the consignments. Your
prompt response will be highly appreciated.
Yours brother in christ
Barrister Christopher Max.
Now deacon Christopher Max.
