Hello Anita!
Thanks for the mail. Adopting our animals is easy. We are affiliated to the Commercial Bank of Cameroon.The bank is incharge of the shipment on our behalf in other to avoid fraud. On paying the fee for the veterinary papers and shipment to the said bank, They now recieve your designated animal from our zoo and send it to you by shipment or flight as prefered by you, to your destination.

On recieving your animal, you can then help us through any means you deem necessarry. This actually depends on you. Will wish to let you know we have had so many aid through this means.
Best Wishes,
Margaret Lund

All to supposedly benefit orphans:

This is the original ad.

We are a group of American Anglican church sisters based in Cameroon-west Africa. We have a common initiative group (CIG) known as “Reach out to the Orphans”, through which we help Orphanages in Africa by receiving Dons from international organizations, and offering pets for adoption and accepting a token of any kind from the adoptee on arrival of your desired pet. Our small zoo is based in the south west province and our new arrivals include: Leopard Cubs of 1.5-2 months old (gotten from South Africa.), baby gorillas, baby baboons, baby chimpanzees and a 3metre African python.

Our offers are free and not for sale. To avoid fraud, we are affiliated to the ‘Commercial Bank Cameroon Ltd’. Payment of the veterinary papers and shipment fee is done to the bank which then issues you a genuine check. The bank is in charge of shipping and delivery of your desired pet. In case of any breach of contract, the bank re-inburses your Money. On reception of your pet, our group then awaits a token of any magnitude from you to help run our orphanage.

It is our pleasure to let you know that through this means, we have really helped these Orphans and we are hoping to do more. If interested, contact Sister Margaret Lund.

My phone number is: 0023794676364.

Thanks, Sis. Margaret Lund.

Thanks Anita,
About our affiliation to the Commercial Bank of Cameroon, you can get more info by asking them about their connection with 'Reach Out To The Orphans' through: info_cbcameroon@mail2finance.com . there is a _ between info and cbcameroon.(info_cbcame...).

I will like to know the type of animals you want in other to know which veterinary or health papers to send. It's alot of work if i will have to send all.

Thanks,
Margaret Lund.

Note the fake bank e-mail. It's a free for anyone e-mail address, just like yahoo or hotmail. Sigh. There actually is such a bank in Cameroon, with a real e-mail address.
