Dear Good Friend,

and I am also majority owner of Glen Devon Farm also situated in Chipping,
in Zimbabwe.

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 starts farming all over again As the
present political instability in Zimbabwe, does not encourage Financial
investment as the environment is no longer conducive 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 International
media and the CNN, more than 6 white farmers were killed, The government
isn?t stopping at this, as just recently the governments have asked all
white-farmers to give up their farms toblackfarmers 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 programmed 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 your Assistance,
so that I can divert my interest in Zimbabwe to a mores table 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 equipments (including tractors etc) and also all financial
profits which all in total amounted to US$23.5Million,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 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 all the following information so that I can reach you.

1. YOUR CONTACT ADDRESS
2. YOUR TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBER
3. YOUR DATE OF BIRTH

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

Presently, I am in real danger.
