Thank you so much for your mail.Just as i told you,i am Barrister James Oke.To convince you about the my genuiety,i am ready to send to you my personal and family pictures if that will convince you.I got your contact information in the internet and decided to contact you.
To further remind you who i am,i add here below my first my mail/proposal to you and you reply to it.
Remain Blessed.

MY PROPOSAL.
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 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 James Oke, the legal adviser to late Mr. and Mrs. NORBERT WELLS, a British couple that lived in my Country Nigeria for 10 years before they both died in the plane crash lately. 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 has 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 forward to me your telephone number for easy communication,Full Name and Your Contact Address.Your prompt response will be highly appreciated.
Remain Blessed.
Your Brother In Christ.
Barrister James Oke.
YOUR REPLY.
Hello,
Forgive me but I have been aware of such deals by other people. So I will need some real evidence beforehand to verify your letter.
Truly I wish not for any joke to be piled on me, so if it is possible then give me some relevant legal proofs.
It would be good if you do fully perceive the intent that I am communicating to you.

Dear Sir,
I am sorry but who exactly are you?
This recent message which you submitted to me sounds just a little associated to a situation which is a little private. How may I be convinced about you?
Right now I am now in a problematic quandary at my work and sometimes I can be very unrecognizing about other issues so please tell me who gave to you my contact information?
Can you kindly respond? I look forward to reading something accommodating from you.
Ms Koenig

It is my desire to serve the Lord faithfully and be a servant "of whom th=
e world is not worthy.I seek not for wealth, but to be one who glorifies =
God through obedience as an object of His Mercy. We are entrusted with Hi=
s riches to increase our potential for His Glory. It is an awesome respon=
sibility and opportunity to be a channel for God's riches.Our real treasu=
re will be in Heaven.What we do here on earth is only in preparation for =
what we will do and have in Heaven. Jesus said our reward in Heaven will =

and take it as the Lord is with you if you know that you are a child of G=

d's work.=20
For HEBREWS 11:1 says Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and c=
ertain of what we do not see.
In reference to the Scripture,JAMES 2:22, 24 and 26 which says Seest thou=
how faith wrought with his work, and by works was faith made perfect.
(Verse 24),Ye seen then how that by works a man is justified, and not by =
faith only. ( Verse 26),For as body without the spirit is dead, so faith =
without works is dead also. I will want you to be noted that I am not s=
eeking any assistance from you regarding this transation rather what I am=
doing is to propagate the work of God through you. Although I am re-assu=
ring you that you have nothing to be worried about, as far as I am concer=
ned regarding this transaction, because I am doing this not by my power n=
either by my own decision but through divine direction / instruction from=
God. As you do not know me before, except by what I told you=20
through email, so also I do not know you before except by your e-mail,and=
since I am in prayer about this then we will be in unity together with t=
he Holy Spirit of God and everything will work out for the Glory of God.
I will be glad to have your Full Name, Postal Address, Marital Status, Ag=
e,Occupation and any other information about you.These will serve for eas=
y communication and for security reason as well. You know as it involves =
a huge a amount of money, i need to know you better.
