First of all, anything from Africa besides Apartheid and Nelson Mandela is dodgy.

Secondly I've never heard of Shell Foundation.

And thirdly, ingat senang2 ka cheq nak bagi cheq punya personal details?

Dear Shell Beneficiary,

Shell Foundation wishes to notify you of the just concluded ONLINE promotion held on the 10th of August in its Shell House, Southern Africa.

During the mid-2007 Shell canvassed the views of people and organizations in over 40 countries that unequivocally agreed that Shell can extend its Social Responsibilities and promotions to individuals worldwide by an unbiased selection of winners through a Random selection of winners.

Shell Foundation has no other way to get to the least individual in the world than adopting a Random Selection of e-mail addresses from e-mail users worldwide. Therefore a draw was conducted during our annual Promotions held in Johannesburg, South Africa through a random selection of e-mail addresses from an exclusive list of 159,504,231 e-mail addresses of individuals and Corporate bodies picked by an advanced automated random e-mail address search from the internet in all the countries where Shell Operates which is a part of our social responsibility to our business environment. However, no tickets were sold but all e-mail addresses were assigned to different ticket numbers for representation and privacy.

After this automated computer ballot, your e-mail address emerged as the 64th winner from 87 winners in the Second category for the (3rd) third-prize with the following data:
