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 Tom Eze, the legal adviser to late Mr. and Mrs.
Robert g. Walsh, an australian couple that lived in my Country Nigeria for
19 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. Robert Walsh 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 $5,000,000.00 (Five 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 inthe
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 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 brother in christ
Barrister Tom Eze.
