I am Mr    Arbu  Mpula the son of Dr.Henry  Mpula who was recently murdered in the land dispute in Zimbabwe.I got your contact through South African Information Exchange (S.A.I.E) in Johannesburg and I decided to solicit for your assistance. My late father was among the few black Zimbabwean rich farmers murdered in cold  blood by the agents of the ruling government of president Robert Mugabe for his alleged support and sympathy for the Zimbabwean opposition party controlled by the white minority. Before his death he had taken me to  Johannesburg- South Africa to deposit the sum of US$ 23.Million(Twenty three Million  United States Dollars) with a Security and Finance Company as if he Foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe.The money was deposited in a metal box and declared as a personal effects for the use of some of his friends who were to arrive for the world conference on racism scheduled to hold in South Africa from fromr 1st  march 2003.This money was given to my father by President.Robert Mugabe himself for investment in South Africa when they were in good terms. The dispute between my father and the President arose when the President introduced a new land reform-act which adversely affected the rich white farmers and so  black farmers as well.    My father was vehemently opposed to the ""modus operandis""adopted by the government and publicly oppose it. This brought him in direct conflict with the president. To achieve his purpose the president used war veterans to plunder loot and occupy all farms belonging to the white farmers and their black sympathizers. More than Fifty Farmers has lost their lives so far. Heads of governments from the west especially Britain and United States of America have voiced there condemnation of Mugabe's plan. Subsequently South African Development Community (S.A.D.C) has continuously Supported Mugabe's new land act it is against this background that I and my family who are currently Residing in South Africa have decided to transfer my Father's money into a foreign account.
