FROM IAN ELSWORTH,
CHIPINGE FARMS, ZIMBABWE
EMAIL: elsworth@walla.com
Dear Partner,
Naturally, this letter will come to you as a surprise since
we have not met, permit me however to introduce myself; I
am Ian Elsworth, a white Zimbabwean Farmer, currently in
hiding in Zimbabwe. I used to work in three tobacco farms
in Chipinge, and I am 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 yourcountry
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.
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 this period, as reported by international media and the CNN, more than 6 white farmers(including my
father) were killed; the government is not stopping at
this, as the government has already 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 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 US$18.5million. 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 the purchase of land. For your assistance to me, you will be entitled to a commission of 15% 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 confidential email
address: elsworth@walla.com, (TAKE NOTE OF THIS
PLEASE!!),
the following information so that I can reach you:
1. YOUR CONTACT ADDRESS
2. YOUR TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBER,
I am waiting urgently for your response, while also
requesting that you treat this matter in strict privacy.
Cheers and God bless.
I will give you more details when i hear from you. You can click on the link below to get a better understanding my situation and why i need to move out my money: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/1068528.stm

LOL I agree completely

[sowen010599]

Oh yeah, get these all the time. I haven't seen one like this before though. It actually uses real information along with the 411 scam.

Some of you might remember all of the white farmers there that were killed about 4 years ago.

And Ian Elsworth, that name was on CNN as a white african farmer who was killed. Shot something like 5 times.

But if you had that kind of money, it wouldn't seem like making it out of ANY country would be a problem.

[gatemplin]

You lucky bastard, dont let the money change you!

[Tour2ma]

... or the impending lack of it...
