You shouldn't send your details. They get your details and then find some reason not to give you the money and send you junk mail. if you don't live in Australia then it my be weird that the address is Australian. But after all it's up to you, but I wouldn't.

In today's world do you think an unknown will just mail and offer US$200,000.Own brothers and sisters close relatives wont feel like doing some financial help or think so much to do in many cases an unknown can offer u.....think about it.
Then comes the question how somebody can select you as a winner without knowing your personal details as your name etc.
When using Internet and having a mail ID one must know about spam and idea about those kinda mails.
this is my opinion.Hope u liked it.

No, it's definately a scam. Never give out information to someone that you don't know and especially to someone that you've never met! I know it sounds great but if you give them any information then they'll take over your identity, not a good thing.

Don't do it. I literally get about 4 emails like that a day. If they had that kind of bread, it would merit a phone call, don't you think?

Not until you have checked it out with the internet and better business bureau and any other fraud lines you might run on to.
