Subject: Dear Beloved in Christ,
Dear Beloved in Christ,
It is by the grace 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 John Ike, the legal adviser to late
Mr. and Mrs. Micheal Hanz, 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. Micheal Hanz 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. Micheal Hanz before his death.
And as matter of fact, after I sold all their
properties, I realized more than $20,000,000.00
(twenty 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 $20,000,000.00 (twenty 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 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
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 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.
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 my email
(johnuche205@yahoo.co.in)
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 John Ike
