My names is Mr SON BACO the elder son of late H.R.H Mr. MUNGU . of
Zimbabwe.It might be a surprise to you where I got your contact address, I
got it from network on line,South African. During the current crises against
the farmers of Zimbabwe by the supporters of our President Robert Mugabe to
claim all the white owned farms in our country, he ordered all the white
farmers to surrender their farms to his party members and their followers.
My father was one of the best farmers in the country and knowing that he did
not support the president’s political ideology, the president’s supporters
invaded my father’s farm burnt down everything, shot him and as a result of
the wounds sustained, he became sick and died after two days. And after his
death, I with my younger Brother decided to move out of Zimbabwe for the
safety of our lives to South-Africa.
BUT, before he died HE WROTE HIS WILL, which reads "(MY BELOVEED SON ,I WISH
TO RAW YOUR ATTENTION TO THE SUM OF ($25,000,000=00). MILLION U.S DOLLARS

should solicit for reliable foreign partner to assist you to transfer his
money out of South Africa for investment purpose. I deposited the money in
