Naturally, this letter will come to you as a surprise since we have not met,permit me however, I am Mr. Dudley Rogers, a Zimbabwean Farmer. 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 and establish a private company in that region, as the present political instabilityin my country Zimbabwe, does not encourage financial investment as the environment is not conducive for 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. So far, more than 1,400 white owned farms have been invaded and confiscated, as well as claiming the properties of the farmers. During these periods, as reported by international 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. Having lived in this country Zimbabwe for more than 35 years, I have no other country to go to, nor can I trace any of my distant relatives. Therefore, I decided to contact you, for your assistance, so that I can establish a company in your country and relocate there. Also, I must re-iterate the importance of having a citizen of your country to front as the owner of the enterprise, due to the fact that I am a foreigner. For this purpose, I have put in a security deposit all monies from the sale of my farm and farming equipments (including tractors etc) which amounted to US$9.5Million, 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 establishing the company. As a partner you will be entitled to 20% stake in whichever company that you both decide to establish when I arrive your country. I am waiting urgently for your response. Cheers and God bless.
