don't know if you're joking, but it's an obvious scam.

Are those typos yours or was it sent that way? If it had the typos when it came, that greatly increases the chance of it being a scam.

If it is legit: I just wanted to know that I have been following your posts for a while and find them extremely intellectual. I have the utmost respect for you and hopefully we can strike up a deeper correspondence. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Wow. At first I thought you were being sarcastic, but now I see you were being serious. And all the responses that people sent of it "probably" is a scam also amaze me. Of course its a scam. Its not even close. Theres not even a .0001 percent chance its not a scam, for so many reasons, I could write a 20 page post about it. Money really does blind, I guess I see now why so many people fall for these things each year. If an intelligent 2+2'er and winning poker player might even consider the possibility that this could be for real, I can see how the unwashed masses lose millions to this kind of thing every year. I guess money and greed really do blind.

This is not a scam. I am involved in this from my office in the UK (UNITED KINGDOM).

In order to facilitate the transferal, you must send a negligible sum of £1000 in order to activate the account transferal procedure so that you can receive in full your winnings of £1,500,000 (ONE MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND POUNDS STERLING). Your transfer fee will also be returned to you.

PM me for account details.

P.S. If anyone else reading this wishes to partake in this lottery or wants to discover whether they have already coincidentally been entered for free and won, please PM me.
