I am contacting you as the need to 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 start my life all over again as the present
political instability in Zimbabwe does not encourage financial
investment as the environment is no longer conducive for me and my
three children.Because of the political instabilities and wanton 
distruction of lives and properties, I was assisted by a good samaritan to safety in Johannesburg,South Africa where we eventually found ourselves.This was reported widely 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 and political opposition owned 
farms.During these periods, as reported by international media, BBC and the CNN, more than 6 white farmers were killed including my late husband.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 and politicians who are in alliance with the ruling party or risk going to prison and possibly killed. 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 programme of the government.Having married and lived with my late husband in this country Zimbabwe for more than 32 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 stablecountry as yours. Before my husband suden death,he was able to planned well ahead of time to secure some of our properties which were meant for a new farm in Bostwana and made a reasonable money deposit to a finance company in Europe.

I will not disclose the name of the finance company and the amount that 
was deposited for security reasons. The reason of the deposit was to 
purchase new implements for our new farms. However, I will make 
everything known to you as soon as I receive a response through my lawyer who has been authorized to act on my behalf. The finance company is not aware of the actual contents of the consignment except the declared items (gemstones) as reflected in the deposit certificate. Also, I must re-iterate the importance of having a citizen of your country to front for me, since I intend to invest and settle inyour country. I do not know much about your country‘s land ownershiplaws,I thought it wise to seek the help of a citizen to act as proxy for me and my children as their future is right now very bleak. I will upon receiving your consent make all arrangement to move the funds to you pending my arrival to meet with you in your country.Further arrangements
would be made regarding investment thereafter.Every modality will be worked out by my lawyer to ensure that the money is conveniently moved to your region to enable you receive it in person without any setbacks or inconveniencies. He will arrange a smooth meeting between you and the finance company for the delivery.

For your assistance to me, you will be entittled to a commission of 30%
ofthe total sum for this purpose. If you are interested and willing to
assist me, you should please forward to my lawyer via his private email
address as stated below:
