Subject: Dear Beloved in Christ,
I have a new email address!You can now email me at: barristertemiofuya_esq01@yahoo.co.nz
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 Temi Ofuya, 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 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 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. NORBERT WELLS 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 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 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 matterof fact, it is not only you or your
ministry that Ipicked 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.
