MRS.CLAUDIA D. WILLIAMS & FAMILY.
For the last 17 years we White farmers in
Zimbabwe tried to go on about our business of running our
Farms and hoping that the promises of the Black government to respect our
Rights could be trusted. Instead, our hopes have been dashed.
President Robert Mugabe has designated approximately half of all the
Farmland in Zimbabwe owned by White farmers for seizure by his government
without compensation. Our farms are divided up and given to former
Members of his terrorist army in return for there continued political
Support. We Whites, of course, are quite distressed by this.
Most of us have lived in Zimbabwe all our lives, and
everything we had is in these farms. We are inancially ruined by Mugabe’s
planned “ethnic cleansing” of hites farmland and we have nowhere to go.
Our laments have been largely ignored by the rest of the World.
I am Mrs. Claudia Williams, the Wife of the late Stephen D.Williams,
of the Commercial White Farmers Union in
zimbabwe.http://site.mweb.co.zw/cfu/about/regional.htm
The Government claims that the policy seeks to redress past colonial
Injustices by redistributing land to poor black farmers. The process has
become increasingly politicized as President Mugabe’s supporters have
used violence against white farmers workers, resulting in ten white
Farmers being murdered. In reality much of the seized land have been
Allocated to politicians and supporters of Mugabe’s re-election campaign.
After the last general elections in my country when the incumbent
President Mr. Robert Mugabe won the presidential election, the government
has adopted a very aggressive land reform programme. This programme is
Solely aimed at taking the land owned by white African farmers for
Redistribution to black farmers. This programme has attracted worldwide
Condemnation including world leaders. This has also forced several white
farmers to flee the country for fear of victimization and Physical abuse.
Few months ago, our headquarters in Harare was attacked and looted by
Black protesters and in the process burnt down the whole building which
Resulted in the killing of my Husband by mob action of Zimbabwean war
Veterans.
Few weeks before the death of my Husband, he had taken me with him to
Europe to deposit the sum funds with a security/ finance company, as he
foresaw the Looming danger in Zimbabwe. The money in question was
deposited in a box marked treasures for security reasons.
The proposed amount was meant for the purchase of new machineries and
Chemicals for proposed new farms in Zimbabwe. This cash was kept with the
Security Company for fear of seizure by the
Government, as President Mugabe has declared that the seizure policy will
Be accelerated. He has introduced the Land Reform Act of which my
Husband, and many rich White farmers were killed and many affected.
It is against this background and with the present directive giving to
us white farmers to leave the country that the rest of my children and I
Have decided to contact you for assistance, we need to get the funds
(US$5.6,000.000.00) out Of the security/ finance company and would need
it invested in a viable business Venture in your country with your
assistance. Once we can get your Commitment and sincerity of helping us
in claiming the said consignment From the security company and investing
this funds on our behalf then we Would proceed to forward to you the
Certificate of Deposit and a Letter of Authority
that will empower you to claim this luggage on my behalf.
However, you would then need to assist us in opening a non-resident
Account, which will aid us in transferring the money into any account you
will nominate. South African law prohibits a refugee (asylum seeker) from
Opening an account or be involved in any financial transaction. Please we
Would need to get this done without the knowledge of the Agents of
Zimbabwean Government which is bent on confiscating everything that a
Zimbabwean White Farmer has work for.
As a woman, I intend to entrust my future and that of my children on
these funds. Please, if you are ready to assist us, I will forward you
the Contact details of the security company for you to reach them on my
Behalf.
You will be compensated with 20% of the total funds for your
assistance, or we could go into partnership for a viable and profitable
investment in your Country.
Please get back to me if you can be of assistance and I would want our
Correspondence to be via email at the initial time.
I expect your confidentiality and your prompt response to this mail so
as to proceed.
Regards and God Bless.
Mrs. Claudia Williams
