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 acute 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 John Mark, the legal adviser to late Mr. and Mrs. NORBERT WELLS, 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 are 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. NORBERT WELLS instructed me to write his WILL.
Because they had no child, they dedicated theirwealth 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 andgive out the fund to
the Ministries for the work ofGod.In short, I sold all the properties
after their death,as instructed by Mr. NORBERT WELLS before his death.And as matter of fact, after I sold all their properties, Irealized 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 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 tread from his righteousness, and commited
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.
You should also forward to me your telephone and fax number for easy
communication and to fax you the documents concerning the consignments.
