Dear Beloved in Christ,
Calvary greeting to you.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 Patrick Odili, the legal adviser
to late Mr. and Mrs. David 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. David 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. David Williams before his death. And as matter of fact, after I
sold all their properties, I realized more than $10,000,000.00 , 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 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 I got the money. I then packaged the fund in consignments and deposited
the consignments with a security company. I did not want the ma
nagement 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 first through my private
email(odili45@ny.comYou
should also forward tome 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.
