Subject: WOULD YOU HELP?
My Dear
Naturally, this letter will come to you as a surprise, since we have
not met before, I sourced your profile and contact from a human
resource database on The Internet, permit me however, I am MRS RITA
EDWARD. Wife of late MR JOHN EDWARD, a very successful White Farmers
in Zimbabwe, who was brutally killed by unknown Armed Assassins
Suspected to be part of the Evil Work of President Robert Mugabe who on
May 31st 2000 announced a Constitution and decree, to seize more than
849 white-owned farms,claiming that it belong to Black indigenes, so far, more than 1,400, White farm lands and , properties have been invaded and confiscated.
I decided to contact you, for your assistance, so that I can establish
a company in your country and relocate there. Also, I must
re-iterate the importance, for you to act and front as the owner
of the enterprise, due to the fact that I am a foreigner.
For this purpose, I have deposited in a Finance & Security company in
Europe all Monies from the sale of our farm proceeds and farming
equipments (including Tractors etc), which amounted to US$13.500,000(
Thirteen Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars) The present political
instability in my country Zimbabwe, does not encourage any financial
investment as the environment is not conducive for we white Citizens and most of all security is not guaranteed, just as reported by
international media. And the CNN, that more than 6 white farmers was killed, as for my own record as an eye witness the real amount of White Farmers and Families that was killed is 17, I can not risk giving up all that Me and My late Husband has Worked for, more than 35 years, You can view these websites for more Stories.
