ear Sir,
Naturally, this letter will come to you as a surprise since we have not met, permit me
however, I am MR.COLIN SHAND, 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 encourage financial
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 yourassistance, 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
your land-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$18.5Million, I will upon receiving your consent prepare every
document to enable you receive this money on my behalf, 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.
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.
I
f 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
3. YOUR DATE OF BIRTH
I am waiting urgently for your response, while also requesting that you
treat this matter in strict privacy.
Cheers and God bless.
Best Regards
COLIN SHAND{MR}.

CHIPINGE, ZIMBABWE
