My Dear Friend,

I am MR.ROGER WILLIAMS, a white Zimbabwean Farmer, the
owner of Dairy farmslimited in Zimbabwe. I own three
tobacco farms in Chipinge, and I am also a majority
owner of Williams Farm also situated in
Chipinge, in Zimbabwe.

You can see more details about my situation and BBC
interviews on the

website below:


http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/2187981.stm

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 financialinvestment as the
environment is no longer conducive for farming
investment and most of all security is not insured,
just as
reported by most 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 international media and the CNN, more than
6 white farmers were killed. The government did not
stop 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 were arrested for defying the orders to leave
their farms under the controversial land reform
programme of the government.

Having lived in this country Zimbabwe for more than 35
years, I have no other country to go to, Therefore, I
decided to contact you, for your assistance, 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 company
deposit, all monies from the sale of our farming
equipments (including tractors etc) and also all
financial profits which all in total amounted to
US$14.4Million, I will upon receiving your consent
make all arrangement to move my funds to you 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.

Every modality will be worked out by me to ensure that
the money is conveniently moved to your region to
enable you receive it in person without any setbacks
or inconveniencies.

For your assistance to me, you will be entitled to a
commission of 20% 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 private email
address stated at the end of this mail the following

information so that I can reach you:

1. YOUR FULL NAMES AND CONTACT ADDRESS.

2. YOUR TELEPHONE, CELL/MOBILE AND FAX NUMBERS.

3. YOUR DATE OF BIRTH AND MARITAL STATUS.

I am waiting urgently for your response, while also
requesting that you treat this matter in strict
privacy.

Presently, I am in great danger and will appreciate
you correspond with me via my confidential email
address please all reply to my alt email: rogerwilliams@ukrania.com

Cheers and God bless.

Best Regards

ROGER WILLIAMS {MR}.
WILLIAMS FARMS,
CHIPINGE, ZIMBABWE
