well yes it is from U.K. They are saying that i won the Brittish lottery. They gave me a phone number to call and the " winning number". I don't have to do anything with the e-mail.

Its a scam !!!!!!!! Do not respond to it. By the way a british pound,
(currency) liken to the Us dollar is a type of currency. Sterling is a type of silver. So if someone wants to GIVE you that much of a precious comodity, think twice about the circumstances that are required to receive the phony prize. Usually scams like this emanate from the U.K. and Afica:(Niger and other countries)

English currency. Equal roughly to about a million and a half dollars. I haven't looked at the exchange rates in quite some time. Who is it that likes you so much? Ask them if they like me.
