Glendoven Farms, Chipinge, Zimbabwe. Dear Sir, I am 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 a majority owner of Glendevon Farm also situated in Chipinge, in Zimbabwe. You can see more details about my situation on BBC interviews and the website below: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/2187981.stm I am contacting you as the need 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 conducive for farming investment and most of all security is not insured, just as reported by most international media. This problem started when the Zimbabwean government under the leadership of President Robert Mugabe announced a decree on May 31st 2000 to seize more than 849 white-owned farms. During these periods, as reported by international media and the CNN, more than 6 white farmers were killed. The government did not 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. 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 were arrested for defying the orders to leave their farms under the controversial land reform program of the government. Having lived in this country Zimbabwe for more than 43 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 me, since I 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 deposited, all monies from the sale of our farming equipments (including tractors etc) and also all financial profits which in all, total amounted to US$23.5Million in a Bank in South Africa from where the funds was successfully transferred to Canada, 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 inconveniences. For your assistance to me, you will be entitled 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 private email address stated at the end of this mail the following information so that I can reach you: 1. YOUR FULL NAMES AND 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. Presently, I am in great danger and will appreciate you correspond with me via my confidential email address below. Cheers and God bless.
