Subject: GOD'S WORK
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 Frank Okolie, 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 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 realized
$10,000,000.00 (Ten 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 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
turn away 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 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 first through this my
alternative email address only
frankokolieesq@pnetmail.co.za
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,
Barrister Frank Okolie.
