Subject: HAPPY XMAS DEAREST ONE
Dear Beloved in Christ,
It is by the grace of God that I received
Christ,knowing the truth and the truth have set
mefree.Having known the truth, I had no choice
than to do what is lawful and right in the sight
of God foreternal 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 KELLY OBODO, the legal adviser to
late Mr. and Mrs. James Williams, 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. Bright Williams 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. Bright Williams
before his death. And as matter of fact, after I
sold all their properties, I realized more than
$10,000,000.00 (ten million US dollars plus), 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 $10,000,000.00 (ten
million US dollars) only. But Instead of giving
the main fund out for the work of God as
instructed to me 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
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 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 for the
purpose of God's wok 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 and wisely for things that will glorify
God's name, then do contact me back You should
also forward to me your telephone and fax number
for easy communication and to fax you the
documents concerning the consignments.
