ATTN:
My name is MR. NELSON KURUNERI from the republic of Zimbabwe,the first son
of MR Christopher Kuruneri .During the current war against the farmers in
Zimbabwe, from the support of President, Robert Mugabe, in his effort to
chase the white farmers out of the country, He ordered all the white farmers
to surrender their farms to his party members and his followers.
My father was one of the best and successful farmers in our country
then,and formerly the finance minister of Robert Mugade's administration,but
he did not support the idea of dispossessing the white farmers of their
land.In the course of this he was arrested and the invaders made away with a
lot of items from my father’s farm .My mother almost passed away after a
heart attack.Before my father's arrest , he drew my attention to the sum of
US $18.5 Million United States Dolars,which he had deposited with a security
company in UNITED KINGDOM during his tenure as the Finance minister of
Zimbabwe.My Mother,My sister and I decided to move to South Africa for our
own security,for our lives has also been in danger.The contents of the
consignment were stored as important personal valuable by my father using
his diplomatic impunity then. I decided to contact you to assist me in
moving the money out of England before it is further discovered by the
dictator,MUGABE and and the money confiscated.
