Greetings from the beautiful land of Zimbabwe.
I am Joseph Made of Lands, Agriculture, & Rural
Resettlement ministry of Zimbabwe.
As a member of cabinet and former stuanch supporter of
President Mugabe’s government I was opportuned to be in the
know as to what led to the struggle for farm lands and
subsequent fall out of my government with the Western
world. As of today I would be more than glad if the case of
what happened can be reversed as I have come to see that it
was all in pursuit of the selfish interest of one man, the
president!
After all said and done, it has become obvious that my
president like any other African leader needed to make sure
that he remains in power to not just consolidate his
fortunes but also to make sure that he bleeds the country
to death by siphoning the money meant for developmental
infrastrure abroad. Of course with the help of some
foreigners who do not see anythng wrong in helping him
steal the country blind.
I may very well be sounding like a disgruntled and
dis-appointed person but the truth is that he has shifted
his gaze from the foreigners to his own very people. He
sees any suggestions or opinions that does not agree with
his own has been that of a saboteur and the person
therefore must be punished. In other words, we the
followers have come to realise that he feels threatened by
not just our presence but coupled with the fact that most
of us are privy to what transpired and are very much aware
of the movement of large sums of money abroad.
As it stands now I and many others are of the strong
opinion that sooner or later it will be our turn to be
flushed out of the composition of members of cabinet and
replaced with loyals who obviously have sworn to an oath of
allegiance and loyalty via fetish and ritualistic methods.
This being the norm does not appeal to some of us and
therefore we are now targets to be dismissed/disgraced from
service or face possible extermination.
I have contacted you on the consideration that I could
discuss with you the possibility of placing some funds with
you for management purpose either in your existing
establishment or other venture to be undertaken after due
delibrations and under terms to be agreed upon. I will
prefers that this investment be made in your country if and
when we have arrived at a compromise.
I sincerely appologise for writing you via this means even
without prior established acquaintance. But I do beleive
that as we get along you will come to understand the reason
for my writing through this means.
I thank you for taking time to read my letter and hope that
you will respond soon with any inquiries that may help you
decide on your next line of action.
Regards,
Joseph Made
