Subject: AKNOWLEDGE RECEIPT
Dear Beloved in Christ,
It is by the grace of God that I receive
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 Abanz
Egeonu, the legal adviser to late Mr. and Mrs. Dave
Brown, a British couple that lived in my Country
Nigeria for 25 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,house properties, etc. As
their legal adviser,before their death, the husband
Mr. Dave Brown 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 Mr. Dave Brown before his death.
And as matter of fact, after I sold all their
roperties, I realized $10,000,000.00,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, herefore 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 truth from his righteousness,
and committee 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,individua,charity home or an N.g.o 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 your
email address 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 contains 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 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 first through my private
email(frank_abanz@eriga.lv),You should also forward to me
your full name and address, 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.
