Helping hands

Mr. Ntobo,

As a active participant in human rights watch groups, and a close follower of recent events in Zimbabwe, I am very happy to help you through this difficult time. My family, too, has rightful claims on farms within that country, and have faced similar pressures. Luckily, we have been able to diversify our land holdings within Africa, as well as in parts of South America and Australia. The amount you indicate is sizeable, and I feel that a partnership would be mutually beneficial.

As I am certain you are aware, the normal course of action in such cases is that a small token of good will–say $25,000–is exchanged in order to cement the business relationship. I will be in Amsterdam from February 18-21, perhaps we could arrange a brief meeting? I will have my attorney draw up the appropriate forms and contracts, and I have a banker with whom I have worked successfully in Holland on similar, “sticky” situations.

Thanks very much for contacting me. I look forward to a mutually beneficial arrangement.

> dollars), in one of the private security company, as he foresaw
> the looming danger in Zimbabwe this money was deposited in a box
> as family valuables to avoid much demurrage from security
> company. This amount was meant for the purchase of new machines

> This land problem came when Zimbabwean President Mr.Robert
