It's a hoax. I was told that I had been awarded $500,000. As soon as you reply to this sort of thing with all details the nightmare will begin. They will use your details to commit crimes and you will never see your 'prize'. It's always best to remember: 'If it looks too good to be true it usual is.' Best to bin that unsolicited email.
Sorry it wasn't true.

It is a hoax. It really is. I hope you do not fall for this. They just did a study on this on Dateline NBC where majority of these scams comes from Ontario, Canada.

I have received several similar emails in the last 6 months. I don't know how they got my address, I didn't receive any before.
I reported them all.

I have received many like this. If it sounds too good to be true.... Here where I live, Ontario Canada we are to report these scams to provincial police and they investigate. Sorry to have to break this sad news to you but sounds like you like myself must continue to be a member of the poor working stiffs.

100% cheating emails these are.....I myself have received number of such crap in last year and at first I was thrilled but when I detected it was not addressed to me....I realized its a kind of joke or hoax.....but still one of my friends just for play replied to return address as you witnessed in the letter....and a week later he received an intimation to deposit a certain amount in ---- bank and account number....because they need this much payment for paying proper banking charges.....lol....proper banking !!!! hahaha.

It's definetely a scam. I wonder how many people actually fall for this crap. I wonder what the catch is.
