Finally! A new country on the African scam:

Dear Sir,
I am Jacques Strappe, the secretary of Commercial farmers
Union (CFUZ) of Zimbabwe. After the last general elections
in my country where the incumbent president Mr. Robert Mugabe
won the presidential election, the government has adopted a
very aggressive land reforms programme. This programme is
solely aimed at taking the land owned by white African farmers
for redistribution to black Africans. This programme has
attracted worldwide condemnation from world leaders including
British Prime Minister, Mr. Tony Blair and also forced several
white farmers to flee the country for fear of
victimization and physical abuse. A few weeks ago,
our headquarters in Harare was attacked and looted by
black protesters and in the process burnt down the whole building.
Fortunately, they did not get access to the huge funds kept
in the strong room which belongs to the co-operation.
This cash was kept at the secretariat rather than in the bank
for fear of seizure by the government. Now I have the funds
in my possession and would need to get it invested in a
viable business venture in europe.
The cash in question is US$46Million US$dollars.
Once I can get your commitment and sincerity of investing this
funds on our behalf then I would proceed to get the funds freighted to Europe,
where you would be required to pick it up for investment for us.
You do not have anything to worry about as I would undertake all
charges involved in freighting the funds to europe,
and the business proposal is 100% legal and risk free.
You would be adequately compensated for all your effort
once we have gotten the funds to europe.
Please get back to me if you can be of assistance
and I would want our correspondence to be via email as most
phone lines of white farmers are bugged by the government.
I expect 100% confidentiality and your prompt response to this
mail so as to proceed.
Kind regards,

Jacques Strappe.

Incidentally, I received a similar one Thursday from someone claiming to be the son of former Zaire dictator Mobutu Sese Seko. This Zimbabwe guy offers $10 million more though.
