Just got this in my email. I guess now they're trying to appeal more to the white guys.

GLENDOVEN FARMS,
CHIPINGE, ZIMBABWE.
Dear Sir,
I am MR.COLIN SHAND, a white Zimbabwean Farmer, the
owner of Diary farms limited in Zimbabwe. I own three
tobacco farms in Chipinge, and I am also a majority
owner of Glendevon Farm also situated in Chipinge, in
Zimbabwe.
You can see more details about my situation with the
BBC interviews on the website below:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/2187981.stm
I am contacting you as the need for me to have a
foreign partner in your country has become necessary
due to our plans to relocate to your country so that I
can purchase some lands and start farming all over
again as the present political instability in Zimbabwe
does not encourage financial investment as the
environment is no longer condusive for farming
investment and most of all security is not insured,
just as reported 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-owned farms. During these periods, as
reported by BBC and the CNN, more than 6 white farmers
were killed. 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
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 were arrested for defying the orders to leave
their farms under the controversial land reform
programme of
the government. Having lived in this country Zimbabwe
for more than 35 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 us, since we intend to
purchase some lands for farming, I do not know much
about your land-ownership laws, I thought it wise to
seek the help of a citizen to act as proxy for me.
For this purpose, I have put in a security company
deposit, all monies from the sale of our farming
equipements (including tractors etc) and also all
financial profits which all in total amounted to
US$23.5Million, I will upon receiving your consent
make all arrangement to move my funds to you pending
my arrival to meet with you in your country so that we
can both make further arrangements with regards to the
purchase of lands. Every modality will be worked out
by me to ensure that the money is conveniently moved
to your region to enable you receive it in person
without any setbacks or inconveniencies.
For your assistance to me, you will be entittled to a
commission of 25% 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 email address the
following information so that I can reach you:
1. YOUR FULL NAMES AND 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.
Presently, I am in great danger and will appreciate
your correspondence with me via email.
Cheers and God bless.
Best Regards
COLIN SHAND{MR}.
