Brethren,
Isaiah 1: 18 said " Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool". It is by the same grace that i write you today, having known the truth, i am compleed to the will
of Him who has called me. For the witness of God's mercies and glory upon my life that i count it a previlege to share my testimony with you, having gotten your contact from the internet. I am PATRICK OTOFE, an attorney to the late Mr and Mrs Mark Collins,an America couple that lived in my country Nigeria for 20years before they both died in an ill fated plane crash late last year.These couples were dedicated christians , believers in the word and act. They until their death believed God for a child but they never had any .
Whilst in my cou! ntry they invested in Real Estate and the Oil Industry. They were weatlthy in every sense of the word. As their Attorney, before their death, the husband Mr. Mark Collins instructed me to write his WILL. Because they had no child or any known sibiling, they
bequeathed their wealth to God's work. According to the WILL, the properties have to be disposed and the proceeds realised channelled into a ministry for the work of God or any humanitarian endeavour. Being their attorney, all the documents for the properties were put 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 line with their Will, i sold off their properties after at their demise.To be candid i realised over $2.5 million (Two Million Five Hundred Thousand USD) My rightful paymnent for my legal fee was deducted by me from the total amount realised from the sale of the properties, this was premised on the! initial agreement between the Collins and my humble self before their death. The total sum to be set aside for funding of the Gospel as instructed Mr Mark Collins is $2.500,000.00 (Two Million Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars) only. But Instead of giving the fund out for the work of God then, as initially instructed by the owner before his death, i fraudulently converted the funds for to my personal use with an eye for investment abroad for my evil benefits,against the ultimate wishes of the original owners. 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 used a Finance company which has an overseas office to deposit the funds . The Finance and security company on my instructions has since moved the funds to their office in Europe.
But praise be to God in that we were yet sinners Christ died for us, i had an encounter with God when Dr Benny Hinn came on a three day crusade to my country on the 29th of April 2005. Sub! sequently my eyes were opened to the book of Acts 5:1-11 about Ananias and Saphira and the book of 2Kings 5:20-27 about Gehazi the servant of Elisha, i was so ashamed of my act greed and selfishness. In my personal study of the word of God i came accross the book of Ezekiel 36:26-27 that says "A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I
will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them" I confessed my sins of greed and illegal appropriation of another man's wealth. 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 chanelling the funds into the Lord's ministry w ork or for Charity 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 contacted you, and as a matter of fact, it is not only you or your ministry that I picked initially, but after my fervent prayer over it, then you were nominated
to me through divine revelation from God.
The Finance Company where I deposited the funds i did notify that i will soon transfer the deposit out of their custody to a recepient. So if you know that you will use this fund honestly and wisely for the things that will glorify God's name, then do urgently contact me back first through this mail and the details will be given to you on how you will be able to receive the fund in your country.
For avoidance of doubt, i make bold to say that i will be responsible for any financial commitment in the course of the transfe! r of the funds to you.
Let brotherly love continue!
Yours in Christ,
PATRICK OTOFE
