If you didn't enter something you can't possibly win it.
Simple rule; NO ONE gives money away for free
The clue is, "You need to provide your full name and address"
This is an identity theft scam.
DELETE IT

It is a scam!!! How can you win a contest that you never entered? They want to get your bank account and social security number. Sometimes when I get one of those e-mails I tell them I am forwarding it to the FBI. You won't get many e-mails after that. Good Luck!

In future, whenever you get mail saying you have won, just delete, its a scam. If half the ones I've had were true I'd be the richest man on the planet. Remember the old saying "You get nothing for nothing in this life".

There is one born every minute.
Do you really think TNT uses a freebie yahoo.co.uk email account?
Do you really think there is someone called Dr Brain Hunt?
And if you had bothered to punch in the postcode for 'TNT Courier Service' into Streetmap.co.uk you would have seen that it was an out of date postcode. As though the place doesnt even exist ........ funny that .........

It is a scam. Yahoo does not offer lotteries and if you did not sign up for one, you would never receive a notification. In short it is too good to be true.
If you still do not believe me, refer this letter to Yahoo immediately. Ask tech support if they offer a lotto. I am sure there is none.

scam, you have to be in it to win it. if you do not enter yourself how can you win????. Do not listen to people who tell you your name was pulled out of a hat or chosen randomly from computer.
