During the current war against the farmers in Zimbabwe from the supporters
of our President. Robert Mugabe to claim all the white -owned farms to his
party members and his followers,he ordered all the white farmers to
surrender all their farms to his party members and his followers.

My father being one of the few rich and successful black farmers in our
country was also victimised because of his opposition to Mugabe's policies.
And because he did not support Mugabe's ideas,Mugabe's supporters invaded
my fathers farm and burnt everything in the farm,killing my father and
made away with a lot of items in my father's farm.

However with the benefit of hingsight, owing to the looming but
deteriorating crisis in my country Zimbabwea,my father had, before his
unfurtunate death deposited with one of the Security Company in Johannesburg
, SOUTH AFRICAthe sum of US$40.5 Million (FOURTY Million Five Hundred
Thousand United States Dollars).After the death of my father,we decided to
move to the Republic of South Africa where he had deposited the money in
the Security Company as valuables.

So I decided to contact overseas firms and individuals that will assist me
to move this money out of South Africa because, as asylum seekers we are
not allowed to operate any bank accont within South Africa.We have agreed to
offer 30% of the total sum for your assistance,5% will mapped out for any
expenses that may be incurred in the course of this transaction and 65%
will be for me and my family to Invest in your country.

2.What other lucrative businesses would you suggest as I intend Real
Estate,tourism as well as industry and production or our farming business

locality?.
