Subject: GOD'S WORK
Dear Belove 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 Rev Barrister Daniel Obi, the legal adviser to late
Mr. and Mrs. Bright Williams, 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 were 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. Bright Williams
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, after their death, I sold all the properties as instructed and I was
able to realize $6,000,000.00 (SIX million US dollars). Instead of giving
the fund out for the work of God as instructed 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 consignment; therefore I registered the content of the consignment as
Gold Bar. Now, the security company believes that what I deposited with them
was Gold Bar.
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 turn away from his righteousness, and commit 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 work 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. So if you know that you will use this fund
honestly for things that will glorify God's name, then do urgently contact
me back and the details will be given to you on how you will be able to
receive the fund in your country through the security company. You should
also forward to me your 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.
Rev Barrister Daniel Obi
