FROM JOSEPH SMITH
HARARE ZIMBABWE
EMAIL: chipingeranch@o2.pl
Naturally, this letter will come to you as a surprise since we have not met, permit me however to introduce myself; I am a white Zimbabwean Farmer,currently in hiding in Zimbabwe. I used to work in three tobacco farms in Zimbabwe, and I was also part owner of these farms which were
owned by my late father. I am contacting you as the need to for me to
have a foreign partner in your country has become necessary due to my
plans to relocate to that country so that I can purchase some land 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 guaranteed, just as reported by international media.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 program of the government. Having lived in this country Zimbabwe for 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 land for farming, I do not know much about your land-ownership laws, I thought it wise to seek
the help of a foreigner to act as proxy for me. For this purpose, I have put in a security deposit all monies from the sale of my farming equipment(including tractors etc) and also all financial profits. All these are a total of 18.5million dollars. 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 land. For your assistance to me, you will be entitled to a commission of 15% percent 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, please contact me as soon as possible for more details via email: chipingeranch@o2.pl.
I am waiting urgently for your response, while also requesting that yoU treat this matter in strict privacy. Cheers.I will give you more
details when i hear from you. You can click on the linkS below to get a
