Total scam. Report it to the FBI cyber crime unit and forward them a copy so they can crack down on those morons that are ruining the internet.

I knew it was a scam when I saw "UK letter".
Did you get an actual letter or did you receive this via email? Never open unsolicited email from an unknonwn sender. You will never find anything of value. Always delete it unopened. Opening it tells the spammer that they have a live email address. You will be getting all sorts of scam offers.

Anything that says to send money by Western Union from the U.S. to anyone outside the U.S. whom you have never met, other than than a family member, and that you will somehow profit, is a scam. Also, it is illegal for U.S. citizens to use the internet in foreign gambling.
