Subject: GOOD DAY
Dear Friend,
This contact has become imperative based on the recent
tribulation in Zimbabwe which has led to my present
predicament. I am therefore using this medium to
appeal to your good conscience to come to my rescue
and the rescue of my family. I am Mr Bennie stone,a
white commercial farmer from Zimbabwe and I got your
contact from one of my business directories.
i was born and bred in Zimbabwe to the best of my
knowledge,my parents and grandparents lived all their
lives in Zimbabwe africa.I have also lived all my life
in Zimbabwe and so has all members of my
family,therefore it is right to call me a Zimbabwean
though white, I am by law a Zimbabwean. I have little
or no knowledge of my roots save for the fact that my
forefathers as I was told, hailed from Australia,
which I have never visited all my life. It is
pertinent that I tell you all this so that you can
come to a full comprehension of the ill treatment that
I have received from the Zimbabwean government of
late.
The government of Robert Mugabe, president of
Zimbabwe,in the year 2000 promulgated an abbysmal land
law,the fast tract land resettlement program,aimed at
taking land from the rich white commercial farmers in
Zimbabwe and given it to the so called poor natural
inhabitants of Zimbabwe,the black Zimbabweans, who as
the president claimed are the rightful owners of these
land.
To this effects,our lands,including the lands where
our personal houses where built on have been taking
from us,rendering us homeless.In pursuance to this
law,the so called natural inhabitants, the black
Zimbabweans, have committed serious human rights
violations in the process of forcefully taking our
lands from us.Many of our white brothers were maimed,
killed and rendered homeless.Those of us that are
alive now live in fear.
As the victim of this inhuman treatment, I have been
rendered homeless,that I now live in a village in the
far north of Manica land, Zimbabwe, where I have to
travel 100 kilometers to send this mail to you. We
were hoping that the international community will come
to our rescue,but this hope has been dashed since all
we hear is that the international community is still
appealing to the Zimbabwean government to reconsider
the law,which clearly has fallen on deaf ears, since
most of us have been relegated to abject poverty and
homelessness while living in fear. All our properties
have been confiscated including our bank accounts
which have been frozen. The rest of us who managed to
flee Zimbabwe at the inception of this law are now the
lucky ones.
My dear friend, I have lost all I worked for all my
life. As a tobacco farmer I have lost both my farm
land and all my financial resources in Zimbabwe. I
only have one hope left,which is to leave Zimbabwe
alive. I am using this medium to appeal to you to come
to my rescue and that of my family by helping us get
out of Zimbabwe to a safe abode, where we can start
life afresh again. I have some money in London Which I
deposited there in a security firm to enable float an
export and import company to facilitate the
transportation of my farm produce which was costing me
alot. I cannot reach the money because of my present
isolation, moreover I do not have a bank account
anymore in Zimbabwe to facilitate bank to bank
transfer.
I need your help to withdraw this money as all the
documents neccessary for this withdrawal is still in
my possession so that I can leave Zimbabwe as soon as
possible and settle down with my family in your
country.Please endeavour to try and help me as you
will be greatly rewarded for your effort. I thank you
for your anticipated cooperation as I await your
response to this mail.
Regards,
Bennie stone
