From: Colin Shand {Mr}.
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.
Best Regards
Colin Shand (Mr), Glendoven Farms Pvt, Pte
Chipinge,
Zimbabwe.
