Dear beloved in Christ ,
It is by the grace of God that I received Christ, knowing the truth and =
the=20
truth have set me free. Having known the truth, I had no choice than to =
do=20
what is lawful and right in the sight of God for eternal life and in the=
=20
sight of man for witness of God=92s mercy and glory upon my life. I have=
the=20
pleasure to share my testimony with you, having seen your contact during=
my=20
research for a God fearing person.
I am BARRISTER JOHN BONGO, the legal adviser to late Mr. and Mrs. Bright=
=20
williams, a British couple that lived in my Country Nigeria for 25 years=
=20
before they both died in a plane crash late last year. These couple was=
=20
good Christians, they were so dedicated to God but they had no child til=
l=20
they died. Throughout their stay in my country, they acquired a lot of=20
properties like lands, house properties, est.=92s their legal adviser, be=
fore=20
their death, the husband Mr. Bright Williams instructed me to write his=20
WILL.
Because they had no child, they dedicated their wealth to God. According=
to=20
the WILL, the properties have to be sold and the money be given out to a=
=20
ministry for the work of God. As their legal adviser, all the documents =
for=20
the properties were in my care. He gave me the
authority to sell the properties and give out the fund to the Ministries =
=20
for the work of God.
To cut the story short, I sold all the properties after their death, as=20
instructed by my client,Mr. Bright Williams before his death.
And as matter of fact, after I sold all their properties, expectedly, I=20
realized a huge amount of money that runs into millions of dollars, and=20
what supposed to be the percentage interest of my right legal fee was=20
firstly deducted by me out of the total amount realized from the sold=20
properties, this was based on the initial agreement between me and the=20
owner of the properties before his death. Therefore, the total amount le=
ft=20
to be invested into God's work as instructed by the owner is $12,000,000=
.00=20
(twelve million US dollars) only.
But Instead of giving the main fund out for the work of God as instructe=
d=20
to me by my client before his death. I converted the fund to myself with=
=20
the intention of investing the fund abroad for my personal use. I was=20
afraid of putting the fund in the Bank, because I have to give account =
to=20
the bank on how got the money. I then packaged the fund in consignments =
and=20
deposited the consignments with a security company.
I did not want the management of the Security Company to know the conten=
t=20
of the
consignments; therefore I registered the content of the consignments as G=
old
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=20
television concerning Ananias and Saphira in Acts 5:1-11. After hearing =
the=20
word of God, I gave my life to Christ and became a born again Christian.=
As=20
a born again Christian, I started reading my bible and one day, the Lord=
=20
opened my eyes to Ezekiel 33: 18 and 19. From the scripture, Discovered=20
that the only way I could have peace in my life is to do that is lawfu=
l=20
and right by giving out the fund as instructed for the work of God by my=
=20
client.
I have asked God for forgiveness on my initial thought concerning the=20
money, and I know that God have forgiven me. But I have to do what is=20
lawful and right in the sight of God by giving out the fund to the chose=
n=20
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 =20
choice and direct me to a honest Christian or the chosen ministry that =20
deserves this fund by his Grace.
I then came across your address on the Internet as I was browsing throug=
h a=20
Christian site, and as a matter of fact, it is not only you or your=20
ministry that I picked on the Christian site
initially, but after my fervent prayer over it, then you were nominated=20
through divine revelation from God so that was how I received such a div=
ine=20
revelation from the Lord, how I got your contact information, and I then=
=20
decided to contact you for the fund to be used wisely for things that wi=
ll=20
glorify the name of God.
I have notified the Security Company where I deposited the consignments=20
that contained the fund, that I am moving the consignment abroad and th=
e=20
security company has since been waiting for my authority for the=20
consignment to leave my country and be moved abroad. So if you know that =
=20
you will use this fund honestly and wisely for things that will glorify =20
God's name, then do contact me back, ASAP.
Then you send to me in your reply, YOUR FULL NAMES,YOUR PERSONAL =20
ADDRESS,YOUR TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBERS.
This information=92s are required by the security company to facilitate =
the=20
process of the funds receiver's documentation your prompt response will =
be=20
highly appreciated in my private Telephone number below.
God bless you.
Yours in Christ.
