Subject: Dear Beloved in Christ
Dear Beloved in Christ,
It is by the grace of God that I receive 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 Don Ob1, the legal adviser to late Mr. and Mrs.
Dave Brown, 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. Dave Brown 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. Dave Brown before his
death.
And as matter of fact, after I sold all their roperties, I realized
$10,000,000.00,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, herefore 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 my Telephone number+234 8033972046 or my private
email(donobichamber@myway.com),You should also forward to me your full name
and address, 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.
