From Mr Charles Perlow
GLENDOVEN FARMS,
CHIPINGE, ZIMBABWE
PRIVATE NUMBER 00-27-83 975 2921
ATTN: CEO/DIRECTOR,
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL/PERSONAL
I humbly wish to seek your assistance in a matter that is very important and needs utmost trust and confidence. I am Mr Charles Perlow,the son of Late Mr.Clement Perlow, ,who was murdered in the land disputein Zimbabwe, theowner of Diary farms limited in Zimbabwe. He own three tobacco farms in Chipinge, and also a majority owner of Glendevon Farm also situated in Chipinge, in Zimbabwe. I am contacting you as the need for me to have a foreign partner in your country has become necessary due to my plan to relocate to that country so that I can start a profitable business 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 has 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.
I am faced with the dilemma of investing this amount of money here in South Africa for fear of going through the same experience in future both countries have similar political history If you agree to act as a fund manager for me and my family, I shall release the sum of US$20 MILLION united states Dollars to you if you meet my requirements. The money is available in cash in a safe trunk deposited with a security company, and upon a favorable response from you, I shall let you know how you will receive it.
Your commission shall be down payment of 25% of the total sum, 5% for any expencis that might incure during the course of this transaction, and an annual 10% of the after tax returns on investment for the first five years. Then the remaining 60% will be for my family and investment in your country under your close supervission.Thereafter, the terms shall be varied. so, if you are capable and willing to participate in this transaction,send your private phone and fax number and also you can reach me with the above private phone number
I am waiting for your urgent reply,
Yours sincerely
Regards
Mr Charles Perlow.
