Dear Winner,
WINNING NOTIFICATION
The prestigious Micrsoft and aol has set out and sucessfully organised
a Sweepstakes marking the new year 2007 anniversary we rolled out over
£5,000.000.00 (Five million Great Britain Pounds) for our end of year
Anniversary Draws. Participants for the draws were randomly selected and
drawn from a wide range of web hosts which we enjoy their patronage.
The selection was made through a computer draw system attaching
personalised email addresses to ticket numbers. If you ignore this, you will
regret it later. Microsoft and AOL are now the largest Internet

Sorry to break it to you but it is not for real.
If you ever recieve an email saying you won a sweepstakes or an annuity or even an inheritance, it is always a spoof. If there really was a prize for you, they would have contacted you another way.
Plus, I highly doubt Microsoft would misspell their own name in an official email.

% million Brittain Pounds! CONGRATS! You never know. The only way to truly be sure is to call the Better Business Bureau.
Good Luck!

P.S. On my birthday one of my friend's gave me a lottery ticket. I was screaming and jumping up and down. I had won $100, 000 American Dollars! The first thing I said to her was "We'll split the Money. She started crying cause she felt so bad. The ticket said to redeem at "YO MOMMA'S HOUSE!"
It's funny now but it wasn't then.
LOL!
