hello my dear friend

["JULIANA HOWARD" <julia_ward@mail.typemail.com>]

Dear Friend,

 This contact has become imperative based on the recent tribulation in
 Zimbabwe which has led to my present predicament.
 I am therefore using this medium to appeal to your good conscience to
 come to my rescue and the rescue of my family.
 I am Mrs. Julia Howard a widow to a white commercial farmer from
Zimbabwe and I



got your contact from one of our business directories.
 I was born and bred in Zimbabwe to the best of my knowledge,my
 parents and grandparents lived all their lives in Zimbabwe
 africa.I have also lived all my life in Zimbabwe and so has all
 members of my family,therefore it is right to call me a
 Zimbabwean though white,I am by law a Zimbabwean.I have little or no
 knowledge of my roots save for the fact that my forefathers as I was
told,hailed from Australia,which I have never visited all my life.It
is
pertinent that I tell you all this so that you can come to a full
comprehension
of the ill treatment that we have received from the Zimbabwean
government of
late.

The government of Robert Mugabe,president of Zimbabwe,in the year 2000
promulgated an abbysmal land law,the fast tract land resettlement
program,aimed
at taking land from the rich white commercial farmers in
Zimbabwe and given it to the so called poor natural inhabitants of
Zimbabwe,the
black Zimbabweans,who as the president claimed are the rightful
owners of these
land.To this effects,our lands,including the lands where our personal
houses
where built on have been taking from
us,rendering us homeless.In pursuance to this law,the so called
natural
inhabitants,the black Zimbabweans,have committed serious human rights
violations



in the process of forcefully taking our ands from us.Many of our
white brothers
were maimed, killed and rendered homeless.Those of us that are alive
now live in



fear.

 As the victim of this inhuman treatment,I have been rendered
 homeless,that I now live in a village in the far north of Manica
 land,Zimbabwe,where I have to travel 100 kilometers to send this mail
 to you.We were hoping that the international
 community will come to our rescue,but this hope has been dashed since
 all we hear is that the international community is
 still appealing to the Zimbabwean government to reconsider the
 law,which  clearly has fallen on deaf ears,since most of us
 have been relegated to abject poverty and homelessness while living
in
 fear.All our properties have been confiscated including our bank
accounts which



have been frozen.The rest of us who
 managed to flee Zimbabwe at the inception of this law are now the
lucky ones.

 My dear friend,I have lost all I worked for all my life.As a tobacco
 farmer I have lost both my farm land and all my financial
 resources in Zimbabwe.I only have one hope left,which is to leave
 Zimbabwe alive.

 I am using this medium to appeal to you to come to my rescue and that
 of my family by helping us get out of Zimbabwe to a safe abode,where
we can
start life afresh again.We have some  money deposited with a courier
firm in
Amsterdam from an affiliate office in south africa enable us float an
export and



import company to facilitate the transportation of my farm produce
which was
costing us alot.I cannot reach the money because of my present
isolation,moreover I do not have a bank account anymore in Zimbabwe to
facilitate bank to bank transfer.I need your help to withdraw this
money as all
the documents neccessary for this withdrawal is still in my
possession so that I



can leave Zimbabwe as soon as possible and settle down with my family
in your
country.Please endeavour to try and help me as you will be greatly
rewarded for
your effort.

 I thank you for your anticipated cooperation as I await your response
 to this mail.

 Regards,

Julia Howard
