Dear Beloved in Christ,
It is with Heavy Heart i am reaching you regarding the death of my late
client. I am Adekunle Alex, the legal adviser to late MR. MIKE &
CAROL HALL, a very Wealthy Couple that lived here in the United
Kingdom, before their recent Death on the 26th of December during the
Tsunami disaster last year (2004).
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/bristol/4153821.stm these couple
served God as very dedicated Christians, they so dedicated their life
to God but they had no child till they died. They acquired a lot of landed
properties like lands, Stocks/Bond, house properties,
etc.
As their legal adviser, before their death,the husband Mr. Mike &
Carol Hall instructed me to write his WILL because they had no child, they
dedicated their wealth to God. According to the WILL, their assets should be
given out to a ministry for the work of God. As their legal adviser,all the
documents for the assets that are deposited with the security company are in
my care.
He gave me the authority to give out the funds to the
Ministries for the work of God. As instructed by MR.MIKE HALL before his
death.
As a matter offact the total amount of money that is contained in the two
trunk Boxes is US$11,500,000.00,They did not want the management of the
Security Company to know the content of the consignments,therefore they
registered the
content of the consignments as Gold Bars. Now, the security company believes
that what They deposited with them were Gold Bars.
As a born again Christian, I have been reading my bible and 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 Today, I asked God to make his choice and
direct me to an 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. I appeal to you for the fund
to be used wisely for things that will glorify the name of God. I have just
notified the Security Company where they deposited the consignments that
contained the fund, that I am moving the consignment abroad, and the
security company is awaiting my authority to move the consignment out of the
shores of my country. Dear child of Zion, if you know that you will use
this fund honestly
and wisely for things that will glorify God's name.
Your prompt response will be highly appreciated; Do send me your contact
telephone number and address so that
I can reach you.
In His Services,
Barr. Adekunle Alex(Esq)
