Commercial Farmers' Union of Zimbabwe
MATABELELAND .
Dear Friend,
Since 1997 the Zimbabwe government under President Mugabe has been implem
enting an uncompromising policy of seizing farmland owned by white farmers,
much of it the most productive and profitable land in the
country. More than half the white owned land has been assigned for seizure
without compensation.
I am Mrs Estelle Scheijde, the secretary of Commercial Farmers union branch
in the region of matabeleland,Zimbabwe.

The Government claims that the policy seeks to redress past colonial injustices
by redistributing land to poor black farmers. The process has become increasingly
politicised as President Mugabe's supporters have used violence against
both white farmers and black workers, resulting in ten white farmers being
murdered. In reality much of the seized land has been allocated to politicians
and supporters of Mugabe? sre-election campaign.
The 2002 election was marked by violent intimidation of the opposition and
widely condemned internationally as fundamentally floored. Our headquartes
in Harare was attacked and looted by black protesters and in the process
burnt down the whole building.Fortunately,they did not get access
to the huge funds kept in the strong room which belong to the co-operation.
This cash was kept at the secretariat rather than in the Bank for fear of
seizure by the government. Despite this President Mugabe has declared that
the seizure policy will be accelerated. In the face of increasing evidence
of serious human rights abuses against white Zimbabwe ans, the land seizures
seem set to continue.
This funds is safely in our possesion and with the present directive
giving to us white farmers to leave the country,we need to get the funds
outside Zimbabwe and would need to get it invested in a viable business
venture in your country with your assistance. Once we can get your commitment
and sincerity of investing this funds on our behalf then we would proceed
to get the funds deposited with the Zimbabwe home office of a security courrier
company with their Headquarters in Europe,that usually undertakes the carrying

CHANNEL for African Governments and privat individuals.Once we lodge the
consignment with the security company by next week we would be giving a
consignment Deposit Certificate and also their Airway-bill receipt which
i would scan and send to you to enable you keep a tab on when the consign

in your country. I have the mandate of Mr Max Crawford,the Chairman of the
