Subject: Dearly Beloved One Your Help Is Needed,
Dearly Beloved,
It is by the grace of God thatI received Christ, knowing the truth
and the truth has 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 fromthe Internet. I am Barrister EDWARD COLLINS RAY, the legal
adviser to late Mr.and Mrs. Ben Smith, a British couple that lived in
my Country 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 theyhad no child till they died. Through out their stay in my
country, they acquired a lot of properties like lands, house
properties, etc.
Astheir legal adviser, before their death, the husband Mr.Ben Smith
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. I sold all
the properties after their death, as instructed by Mr.Ben Smith
before his death. And as matter of fact, after I sold all their
properties, I realized more than $30,000,000.00 (Thirty million US
dollars), 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 $30,000,000.00 (Thirty million US dollars)
only. But Instead of giving the main fund out for the work of God as
instructed by the owner , 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 an encounter with Christ when Pastor Benny Hinn was preaching
on television concerning Ananias and Saphira in Acts of Apolstles
5:1-11,after hearing the word of God, I gave my life to Christ and
became aborn 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 turneth
from his righteousness, and committeth 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. I have asked God for
forgiveness and I know that God has forgiven me.
But I have to do what is lawful and right in thesight of God by
giving out the fund to the chosen ministry for the purpose of God's
work as instructed by the owner.
After 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 youor your ministry that I picked on the Christian site
initially, but after my fervent prayer over it, then you were
nominated to me throug hdivine revelation from God, so this is how I
received a divine revelation from the Lord, I got your contact
address, and I thendecided 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 broad. 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 this email
address: ( barredycollinsray@yahoo.co.uk ) for more details.
You should also forward to me your physical contact address were you
will like the consignments delivered to you,your direct telephone and
fax number for easy communication and to fax you the documents
concerning the consignments.
Your prompt response will behighly appreciated.
Yours in Christ,
Barrister EDWARD COLLINS RAY
