The company is celebrating the sixth anniversary program, the Shell Foundation United Kingdom in conjunction with other relevant bodies is givining out a yearly donation of 20,000,000.00 GB Pounds (Twwenty Million Great Britain Pounds Sterlings) to 20 lucky recipients. These specific Donations/Grants will be awarded to recipents worldwide. I was one of the chosen recipient to receive a award as charity donations/aid from th Shell Foundation United Kingdom in accordance with the enabling act of Parliament. Is this a scam?

This is their e-mail address to send information like my name, address, Sex,
Country, Occupation, but they not ask for
my bank account or send money but I have beem through this before and it would be a scam when I search out for
information on them. I have use different
method to find out everything I need to know before I make a more and I know
I will not make a error. More added detail. True or False.

It sure sounds like it's a scam, especially if you never even heard of them. This sounds like a new twist on "You have been chosen as a winner of the Yahoo UK lottery." To get grants, you apply for them - they don't just fall from the sky like this.
The most likely situation is that if you respond, they'll either ask for personal info like bank account numbers (and empty them for you) or will tell you there's some kind of fee to get your money, then if you send it you'd be out that much.
