Hello Dear,
My name is Larry Ali, the elder son of Mr. Johnson Ali of Zimbabwe. I know this might be a surprise to you about where I got your contact address. I got your esteem contact and particulars out of desperate search for a trust/reliable business minded person in your country, who will honestly assist my younger sister and I to realize our inherited funds into his/her account and as well as invest it into a lucrative business.
During the 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 farmers in our country was also victimized because of his opposition to Mugabe's policies. And because he did not support Mugabe's ideas, Mugabe's supporters invaded my father's farm and burnt everything in the farm, killed my father and made away with a lot of items in my father's farm. This action was taken because my late father felt the growing tension on the farm issue, but I guess he never anticipated the tragedy that brought their brutal and sudden death.
Please do go through this web page for better understanding with
