Subject: Partnership enquiry(from Richard Hill a Zimbabwean Farmer)
MR.RICHARD HILL
GLENDOVEN FARMS, CHIPINGE,
ZIMBABWE.
Dear Sir
Naturally, this letter will come to you as a surprise since we have not met,
permit me however to introduce myself, I am MR. RICHARD HILL, a Zimbabwean
Farmer. I am contacting you as there is need for me to have a foreign
partner in your country.
It has become necessary due to my plans to relocate and establish a private
company in your region,as the present political instability in my country
(Zimbabwe), does not encourage financial investment as the environment is
not condusive 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 2002 to seize more than 3000 white-owned
farms.
So far,more than 1,400 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 that,as just recently the government have asked
all white-farmers to give up their farms to black farmers or risk going to
prison.The white farmers are also restricted from travelling out of the
country. Having lived in 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.
Before the Farm Decree in Zimbabwe I deposited in a Security company outside
Zimbabwe funds realised from the sales of some of my farm lands and other
farming equipment which amounted to USD15,500,000.00 (Fifteen million, five
hundred United States Dollars).The fund was packaged in two metal boxes and
declared as personal effects and photographic materials so as to avoid
detection by immigration/security officials.
Upon your immediate response, I will immediately arrange and send to you all
the documentation that will empower you in finalizing the transaction with
the security company.Let me use this opportunity to also inform you that
this transaction is 100% risk-free. It is free and genuine and should also
be handled in the most confidential manner.
This money is not linked to any terriroist or money laundary because I have
a proof of its origin.I will not hesitate to link you to the security
company for further discussion. You should be entitled to 30% of the total
funds for your support and co-operation in the transaction. Its also your
duty to assist me in investing my own share of the money in your company. I
shall be counting on your unalloyed trust and immediate response.
PLEASE FORWARD THE FOLLOWING TO ME IMMEDIATELY,
1. YOUR CONTACT ADDRESS
2. YOUR TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBER
Thanks and God bles.
Best Regards
MR. RICHARD HILL
