I received a email just like this one, so I'm glad I did a search on it and found this, Thank you, I figured this was a scam, cause I have been allso sent letter's in the mail, on the very same thing, and called on the phone, that I had won this kind of money, and all I had to do was just meet them with a western Union money order for around $5,000 and they would give me a certifive check,which I took to the Bank when they sent one like this to me in the mail, and the bank said it was all so a scam. so be careful everyone.

This is a fraud
