Subject: Be Honest
Dearly Beloved ,
It is by the grace of God that I 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 from the Internet. I am Barrister Beckam Stone, 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 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.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 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 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 the sight 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 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 this is how I received a divine revelation from the Lord,
I got your contact address, 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 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: beckamstone1@voila.fr
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 be highly appreciated.
Yours in Christ,
Barrister Beckam Stone
