Dearly Beloved, 

  "It is by grace we are saved,not by works lest any man boast about 

  It is amazing that while we are yet sinners christ died for us. What 
a mighty  God we serve! It is out the joy of salvation that i share my 
testimony with you. 

    I am  TOM IKEBE, the legal adviser to late Mr. and Mrs. Steve 
David, an America couple that lived in my  Country Nigeria for 25years 
before they both 

died in the plane crash   last year. They were dedicated Christians,  
and they were believers in word an act. 

Although they had no siblings they believed God for one until their 
unfortunuate death.While they were in my country, they were wealthy in 
landed properties .As their legal adviser, before their death, the 
husband Mr. Steve David 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 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 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. 

   After the demise of the couples, the properties was disposed off  as 
instructed by Mr.Steve David before his death. And as matter of fact, 
after I sold all their properties, I realized more than $3,500,000.00 
(Three  million  five hundred thousand  US dollars plus), and what 
supposed to be the percentage interest of my right legal fee was 
firstly deducted by me out of the total amount realized from the sold 
properties, this was based on the initial agreement between me and the 
owner of the properties before his death. Therefore the total amount 
left to be channelled into God's work as instructed by the Mr Steve 
David, is $3,500,000.00 (Three Million five hundred thousand US 
dollars) only. But Instead of giving the main fund out for the work of 
God then, as initially instructed to me by the owner before his death, 
I converted the fund to myself with the intention of investing the fund 
abroad for my personal us e instead of giving the money out as 
instructed by the owner befo re his death. 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. 

   However, I later had encounter with Christ when Envangelist Reinhard 
Bonnke 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   my growth in the Lord began i 
came accross  the book of Proverbs 28:13  that said"He that covereth 
his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth  and  forsaketh them 
shall have mercy".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 work 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. 

  I have notified the Security Company where I deposited the funds 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  and the details will be given to you on how you  will be able to 
receive the fund in your country   . 

  In line with my desire to ensure compliance with the instruction of 
Mr Steve David,I would shoulder the financial responsibility associated 
with the receival of the funds. 

 

Your prompt response will be highly appreciated. 

 

  Yours in Christ. 

 

TOM IKEBE
