Dear Sir,
Naturally, this letter will come to you as a surprise since we
have not met, permit me however, I am MR.JEAN ROOT, a white
Zimbabwean Farmer, the owner of Diary farms limited in Zimbabwe. I
own three tobacco farms in Chipinge, and I am also majority owner
of Glendevon Farm also situated in
Chipinge, in Zimbabwe.
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 encouragefinancial investment as the environment is no longer
condusive 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 internationalf media and the CNN, more than
6 white farmers were killed, the government is not stopping 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 arrested for defying the orders to leave their farms under the
controversial land reform programme 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 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 yourland-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 equipements (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 entittled 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 via my email address the following
information so that I can reach you:
1. YOUR CONTACT ADDRESS
2. YOUR TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBER
I am waiting urgently for your response, while also that you treat
this matter in strict privacy.
Presently, I am in great danger and will appreciate you correspond
with me via confidential email correspondence.
