Most of the time things like this are cons. Ask yourself a few questions such as:
1. Have you entered for any awards/prize drawings recently?
2. Is this a familar company to you?
3. Are they asking you to send them any money in return for your award?
4. Do they want your personal bank account information?
if so, be careful. One of the most common frauds is that they send you a check for over the amount won and you have to send them the funds back. Don't do It!

More than likely it is. They send tonnes and tonnes of these mailings out to people worldwide. If you did not apply for any competition or award then forget it aspecially if you do not recognise the company or name of the awarding body. Just make sure not to send anything related to your bank account or credit card information. It is most likely some kinda scam to get your financial details in order to take moey from you.
Notice as wel they have only given a PO Box, not really a full address of an establishment or company that you can go visit. It could be anyone.

Almost certainly a scam. You contact them and they ask you to send processing fees, taxes etc. Or to provide your bank details. If they really needed to deduct funds why would they simply not take it from the "winnings". As someone else said the details that you give are unclear but if you put the address [for example] into Google it might tell you more. Tear it up. If you respond in any way you risk getting sent extra mailings. IN UK there have been cases of people being conned out of £100000+

I have not had one of these, but I think they usually are a con. At the end, somewhere, there will be some very small writing. You might need a magnifying glass to read it, but you should. See if it is asking you to phone (usually a very high rate), or if there is a list of prizes, including vouchers of some sort. If you win, it could be something like a 50p prize. Best to check! Good luck, happy new year!

Look at it this way - if you are going to get money for no investment, what is in it for the person sending you the letter? They had to write it, print it, pay for the paper and envelope, and the stamp. No-one's going to do that for free.
Anything your receive that says you are getting money free is a con.
