Here ya go Nos...thought you might be ready for another one by now...*LOL*
From: Colin shand <[email protected]>
Naturally, this letter will come to you as a surprise since we have
not
met, permit me however, I am MR.COLIN SHAND, a white Zimbabwean
Farmer,
the owner of Diary farms limited in Zimbabwe. I own three tobacco
farms
in Chipinge, and I am also majority owner of Glendevon Farm also
situated in Chipinge, in Zimbabwe.
I am contacting you as the need to for me to have a foreign partner in
your country has become necessary due to our plans to relocate to that
country so that I can purchase some lands and start farming all over
again as the present political instability in Zimbabwe, does not
encourage financial investment as the environment is no longer
condusive
for farming investment and most of all security is not insured, just
as
reported by international media.
This problem started when the Zimbabwean government under the
leadership
of President Robert Mugabe announced a degree on May 31st 2000 to
seize
more than 849 white-owned farms. During these periods, as reported by
internationalf media and the CNN, more than 6 white farmers were
killed,
the government is not stopping at this, as just recently the
government
have asked all white-farmers to give up their farms to black farmers
or
risk going to prison.
So far, more than 1,400 white owned farms have been invaded and
confiscated, as well as claiming the properties of the farmers. Also,
about 133 white farmers arrested for defying the orders to leave their
farms under the controversial land reform programme of the government.
Having lived in this country Zimbabwea for more than 35 years, I have
no
other country to go to,Therefore, I decided to contact you, for
yourassistance, so that I can divert my interest in Zimbabwe to a more
stable country as yours.
Also, I must re-iterate the importance of having a citizen of your
country to front for us, since we intend to purchase some lands for
farming, I do not know much about your land-ownership laws, I thought
it
wise to seek the help of a citizen to act as proxy for me.
For this purpose, I have put in a security deposit all monies from the
sale of our farming equipements (including tractors etc) and also all
financial profits which all in total amounted to US$18.5Million, I
will
upon receiving your consent prepare every
document to enable you receive this money on my behalf, pending my
arrival to meet with you in your country so that we can both make
further arrangements with regards to the purchase of lands.
For your assistance to me, you will be entittled to a commission of
25%
of the total sum that you will be receiving on my behalf for the above
purpose.
If you are interested and willing to assist me, you should please
forward to me via my email address the following information so that I
can reach you:
1. YOUR CONTACT ADDRESS
2. YOUR TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBER
3. YOUR DATE OF BIR TH
I am waiting urgently for your response, while also requesting that
you
treat this matter in strict privacy.
Cheers and God bless.
Best Regards
COLIN SHAND{MR}.
