Subject: Urgent Partnership investment (MR. 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 bless.
Best Regards
Richard Hill
