Dearest Valued Friend,
Naturally, this letter will come to you as a surprise since we have not
met,permit me however It is with deep sense of honour and respect that
I humbly make this appeal to you with the understanding that any fact/s
or opinion/s expressed in this letter are given in confidence and
solely for your personal information and use. .If it does not interest you
,discard the mail but if it makes sense to you, I open my arms wide to
do business with you
Details OF THE BUSINESS PROPOSAL
I am MR.kaufman herrick,a Zimbabwean Farmer. I am contacting you as the
need for me to have a foreign partner in your country has become
necessary due to my plans to relocate and establish a private company in that
region, as the present political instability in the country (Zimbabwe),
does not encourage financial investment as the environment is not
conducive for investment and most of all security is not guaranteed,just as
reported by the International media. This problem started when the Zimbabwean government under the leadership of President Robert Mugabe announced a decree on May 31st 2001 to
seize more than 6000 white-owned farms. So far, more than 5,400 white owned farms
have been invaded, properties confiscated and farm lands seized. During
these periods, as reported by the international media and C.N.N, more
than 500 white farmers were killed, the government didn't 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.
Having lived in this country (Zimbabwe) for more than 35 years, I have
no other country to go to, nor can I trace any of my distant relatives.
Therefore, I decided to contact you for your assistance so that I can
establish a company in your country and relocate there. Also, I must
re-iterate the importance of having a citizen of your country to front as
the owner of the enterprise, due to the fact that I will be a foreigner
in your country.
I have deposited in a Security company all the funds realised from the
sales of my farmland and other farming equipment which amounted to
USD8.5,000,000.00 (Eight million five hundred thousand United States
Dollars).These funds was packaged in two trunk boxes and declared as
Gemstones to avoid much demurrage from the security company and not to know
of the exact content so that they don't steal my money.It is to the
knowledge of you and i that it is money that is in the trunk boxes.
The trunk boxes of us$8.5m have been arranged and securely sealed,
crated and then deposited with a security company ready for shipment abroad
via diplomatic courier service so as to make it immune to custom and
other bureaucratic checks at the ports.The reason for this is because it
is the only way the funds can be transferred without any problems. For
now, I stay in London uk because Zimbabwe is highly unsafe for me and my
family. You can mail your immediate response to me. Upon your immediate
response, I will immediately arrange and send to you all the
documentation that will empower your good self in finalizing the transaction with
the security company. Let me use this opportunity to also inform you
that this transaction is 100% risk free and should also be handled in the
most confidential manner.
I have options to offer you, first you can choose to have certain
percentage of the money for your assistance, or you can go into partnership
for a proper profitable investment of the money in your country. Which
ever option you choose, feel free to notify me. If for some reasons you
do not prefer a partnership, I am willing to give you 25% of the money
while the remaining 75% that is meant for me, will be for the
investment in your country. So based on the above, it is important you
communicate with me. On the event that you cannot assist me to do the business,
I beg you to still keep my contact and existence of my fund a secret.
I also require you to make available to me your confidential telephone
and fax numbers to enable me comminicate with you easily.
Sincere Regards,
kaufman herrick.
