SCAM!
Read the email! How bad is the grammar? Are you supposed to respond to an email address '@yahoo'? Do you think a legit lotto would use a free email service? NO!

No, but I agree with the other answerers, it is a SCAM.
As there is a lot of this going on globally, either by e-mail or phone it is best to trash these, as the idea is for rogues to get hold of your personal details. I have had similar ones by post/phone from a UK address in Manchester saying I have been awarded £25000 and asked to ring an 0900 premium rate number, but did not do this initially because of the cost. Then I heard on local radio that these scams were rife so I was glad I didn't ring that number after all.
It is best to ignore same. There is no such thing as a free lunch, as the saying goes.

No, never heard of it and my business used to buy and sell furniture as well as bathrooms etc. The payments thing seems to be a bit iffy and i wouldn't be too surprised if you weren't asked for your bank account details before too long. The telephone number is a mobile - something not right here! Just to be sure, contact the leeds city council trading standards department, they'll be interested one way or the other! Good luck!

Always ask youself the question -
"Does it sound too good to be true"
If the answer is "Yes" then leave it alone and let some greedy person with a low IQ get ripped off , if the answer is "No", then go ahead and get ripped off.

I get e mails from them all the time. I think it is scam so I never respond to the e mails.
It will be interesting to see what the others say.

No they don't - it doesn't exist - It is one big scam, just forget you ever got the letter
If you don't believe me just do a google search
