sicking political assylum.I Am the only
son of Kenneth Johnson,
a wealthy farmer and senior politician with the
opposition political party in my country, Movement
for DemocraticChange [MDC]. My father was murdered
by our wicked President, Robert Mugabe
and I fled

my country, beause I have become his next target to
eliminate.My father was a fighter for Justice and
a moving force in the MDC, a part wanting to end
the several years of brutal dictatorship government
of President Robert Mugabe.You will read more storie

My father was accused of Treason and also assisting
the White farmers infighting the government. Few
weeks after his arrest, he was reported dead.The
government claimed he died of heart attack and his
body was never seen for proper autopsy, they buried
him in the government cemetery. My fathers associate
Mr.Martin Olds a White farmer from Britain assisted me
in fighting my faher`s death through the Court and media;
the government saw us as a big treat to them and decided
to eliminate us. Mr. Olds was attacked and murdered in
his house, but fortunately, before they came looking for
me, I received the news and I had to flee through the
border to a neighbouring country to save my life. and
my family my wife and my beby i give God the glory,and
in every thin i am still happy I wish to inform you that
before the death of my father,he deposited the sum of
US$25.5M with a security company in
Netherlands for safe keeping.

The fund was packed in a trunk box in disguise as family
treasures and could not bank them, because of the situation
in my countryand he gave me the documents of deposit
of fund with the security company.
My father's business, farms and banks account were seized
by the government before his arrest and murder. He told me
everything concerning the funds while he was still in detention
and asked me to make arrengement with mr.Martin Olds his associate
who will assist me in claiming this fund from the security
company and also will help me for future investment of the money
in overseas but Unfortunately mr.Martin Olds his associate.was
also murdered by government of Robert Mugabe.
