Subject: KINDLY JOIN ME IN INVESTING THIS MONEY IN GODS KINGDOM
It is by the grace of God that I receiveChrist,knowing the truth and the truth have set me free. Having knownthe truth,I had no choice than to do what is lawful and right in thesight of God for eternal life and in the sight of man for witness ofGod?s mercy and glory upon my life. I have the pleasure to sharemy testimony with you, having seen your contact from the Internet. Iam Barrister Key Maxwell, the legal adviser to late Mr. and Mrs. DavidWilliams, a British couple that lived in my Country Nigeria for 25years before they both died in the plane crash late last year.Thesecouples were good Christians, they so dedicated to God but they had nochild till they died. Throughout their stay in my country, theyacquired a lot of properties like lands, house properties, etc. Astheir legal adviser,before their death, the husband Mr. David Williamsinstructed me to write his WILL.Because they had no child, theydedicated their wealth to God.According to the WILL, the propertieshave to be sold and the money be given out to a ministry for the workof God. As their legal adviser,all the documents for the propertieswere in my care. He gave me the authority to sell the properties andgive out the fund to the Ministries for the work of God. Inshort, I sold all the properties after their death, as instructed byMr. David Williams before his death. And as matter of fact, after Isold all their properties, I realized more than $10,000,000.00 , andwhat supposed to be the percentage interest of my right legal feewas firstly deducted by me out of the total amount realized from thesold properties, this was base on the initial agreement between meand the owner of the properties before his death. Therefore the totalamount left to be invested into God's work as instructed by theowner, is $10,000,000.00 only. But Instead of giving the main fundout for the work of God as instructed to me by the owner before hisdeath. I converted the fund to myself with the intention ofinvesting the fund abroad for my personal use. I was afraid ofputting the fund in the Bank, because I have to give account to thebank on how I got the money. I then packaged the fund in consignmentsand deposited the consignments with a security company. I did notwant the ma nagement of the Security Company to know the content ofthe consignments, therefore I registered the content of theconsignments as Gold Bars. Now, the security company believes thatwhat I deposited with them was Gold Bars. I had encounter withChrist when Pastor Benny Hinn was preaching on television concerningAnanias and Saphira in Acts 5:1-11. After hearing the word of God, Igave my life to Christ and became a born again Christian. As a bornagain Christian, I started reading my bible and one day, the Lordopened my eyes to Ezekiel 33: 18 and 19 where the word of God says:"When the righteous truth from his righteousness, and committeeiniquity, he shall even die thereby. But if the wicked turn from hiswickedness, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall livethereby". From the scripture, I discovered that the only way I couldhave peace in my life is to do what is lawful and right by giving outthe fund as instructed for the work of God by the owner before hisdeath. I have asked God for forgiveness and I know that God haveforgiven me. But I have to do what is lawful and right in the sight ofGod by giving out the fund to the chosen ministry for the purpose ofGod's wok as instructed by the owner before his death.After my fastingand prayers, I asked God to make his choice and direct me to a honestChristian or the chosen ministry that deserves this fund by hisGrace. I then came across your address on the Internet as I wasbrowsing through a Christian site, and as a matter of fact, it isnot only you or your ministry that I picked on the Christian siteinitially, but after my fervent prayer over it, then you werenominated to me through divine revelation from God, so these are howI received such a divine revelation from the Lord, how I got yourcontact information, and I then decided to contact you for the fundto be used wisely for things that will glorify the name of God. Ihave notified the Security Company where I deposited the consignmentsthat contained the fund, that I am moving the consignment abroad andthe security company has since been waiting for my authority for theconsignment to leave my country and move to abroad.So if you knowthat you will use this fund honestly and wisely for things that willglorify God's name, then do contact me back first through my privateemail(keymaxwell100@sify.com),You should also forward tome your fullname and address, telephone and fax number for easy communication andto fax you the documents concerning the consignments. Your promptresponse will be highly appreciated. Yours in Christ. Barrister KeyMaxwell 22b,Oregun South-east Lagos-nigeriaemail(keymaxwell100@sify.com)
