    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}.
    GLENDOVEN FARMS,
    CHIPINGE, ZIMBABWE

    LOL! I should ask him to send me a box of cigars (or get him to shove cigarettes in his nostrills and take a picture). But seriously, I've been quite busy lately with my wedding and haven't had any time to devote to making these guys do stupid things. I abandoned the 2 that I was working on because I had no time to do them.

    After the wedding, I may go back to having some fun ;)

    I wondered what happened to you, Nos. I figured you'd gotten too busy.

    I'm currently baiting 6 different ones, and am having loads of fun with them. I'm going to add them to a "special" web site I've built soon so everyone can read them.

    If anyone's interested, I'm sitting on over 60 (yes, sixty!) unanswered scam letters. If anyone's interested in baiting one (or more) of them, let me know and I'll be only too happy to share!

    Valis: good lord...I received again, today: another five of these crazy arsed e-mails.

    I'm sure there'll be another five by the time midnight rolls around.

    They've been hitting my inbox fast and furious lately.

    Ray, have you been signing a lot of guest books lately and leaving your email address?

    This is where most of these scammers are finding their victims. They are harvesting email addresses out of guest books.

    I did a little experiment to see how true this was after I'd heard about it, so I opened up an email account for this express purpose and put non-intrusive entries (such as "nice site") into 6 guest books. Within hours, I had my first scam mail sent to that email address. They are now rolling in at the rate of 3 to 10 a day! It is amazing (and saddening) how many of these scammers are out there!
