Dear sir,

I am Mr. Don Shishi,
I handle all our Investor's Direct Capital Funds and secretly extract 1.2% Excess maximum Return Capital
Profit (EMRCP) per annum on each of the Investor's Magellan Capital Funds. As an expert, I have made over
$44.5m from the Investor's EMRCP and hereby looking for someone to trust who will stand as an Investor to
receive the funds as Annual Investment Proceeds from Fidelity Magellan Capital Funds. All confirmable documents to back up the claims will be made available to you prior to your acceptance


EXPLANATION:
I have more than 158 Corporate Investors attached to my PORTFOLIO whose Capital Investment
Funds are been managed and administered by me alone.This Capital Investment Funds has a value of
US$244Billion FIXED. The $244billion is been used for trading in Stock Market, Crude Oil and Lending withProfit Returns. Every Years, each Corporate Investor is expected to receive 20% interest from his total Investment Capital Funds which is paid to the Investorannually as their Excess Maximum Return Capital Profit (EMRCP) However, I made average of 21.2% from the
Investor's Investment Capital Funds annually which have exceeded our targeted 20% of Investment Total
Investment Capital Funds. On this note, the extra 1.2% from the 21.2% is been retained by me as my personal profits for managing the Capital Investment. In the other hands, I cannot claim this funds without presenting someone to stand as an
Investor otherwise our Establishment will convert the funds into the Company's Treasury. This is why I come to you for
the deal to take place.

qualify you as our Investor so as to claim the $44.5m.The file will be presented to our Governing
Board Council for verification and approval and once your file is approved, you will contacted to come down
for signing of the Investor•s Funds Release Order that will facilitate and expedite the transfer of the funds
to your account through our Investment Bank. This is a fair deal without any risk attached on either on
your part or on my part as long as we complied with the laws governing the claiming of funds in our
establishment.


ATTORNEY SERVICES:
I do not want you to come to sign the Investor's Funds Release Order because you cannot defend the source of the funds during the signing as our Managing Director may decide to ask you some questions which you may not answer correctly thereby jeopardizing the transaction. Therefore you will inform our establishment that you will not be able to come down for the signing due to some reasons and hereby to appoint an attorney that will represent you for the signing.
