There is no London International Lotto program or Marble. This is a Nigerian scam. I am a retired Police Officer that has investigated Internet fraud and scams for years and this is a version of a old one. Free Lotto, which now has a new scam going, Australian Lottery, U.K. Lottery, the football lotteries claiming to come from the same countries, Yahoo, Microsoft, Global-Link, Global and World Poverty lotteries are all Nigerians scams. The list is endless. The common thread of them getting your email, in most cases are on line survey companies. The standard lines of these scams is that you must either send your banking information or you must send a prepayment to collect your winnings. They will tell you this prepayment is for taxes or to cover the cost of sending your winnings. The best rule of thumb is that "You gotta pay to play" that's how lotteries work They do not just pick names out of the air and just so happen to have their email address also. One of the characteristics I have found that shows them as scams is that the most of them do not spell multi-syllable words correctly

There is only one lottery operator in the UK and it is not called Marble. There is no lottery in the world that randomly gives prizes to foreign people who have not purchased a ticket. That would make the lottery very unpopular among those who actually bought tickets.

Obviously a scam sweetie - rip up the letter and throw it in the bin with your other rubbish.
