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 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 clientbefore his death.
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, houseproperties,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 propertieshave 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. Bright
Williams 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
deducted by 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 $16,000,000.00 (twenty 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
fundabroad 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 consignmentswith
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 whatI
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 hearingthe 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 whatis 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 clientbefore his
death.After my fasting and prayers, I asked God to make his choice and
directme 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 through divine revelationfrom 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 contactyou for the fund to be
used wisely for things that will glorify the name of God.
have notified the Security Company where I deposited the consignmentsthat
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 ack,ASAP.Then you send to me in your reply,YOUR FULL NAMES,YOUR PERSONAL
ADDRESS,YOUR TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBERS.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 God bless you.
Contact me by return mail through same address or alternatively throuhg for
any (barristerokopeter@yahoo.com)
question and further.
YOURS IN CHRIST.
