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 Godwin Momoh, 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, house properties, 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 $15,000,000.00 (Fifteen million USD).
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 inthe 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 should also
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.
