Dear Sir/Madam,





WINNING NOTIFICATION


The prestigious Microsoft and Aol has set out and successfully


organised a Sweepstakes marking the end of year anniversary and we have


rolled out over $25,000,000.00(Twenty-five Million American Dollars)


for the end of year Anniversary Draws. Participants for this draws were


randomly selected and drawn from a wide range of web hosts which we


enjoy their patronage.





The selection was made through a computer draw system attaching


personalised email addresses to ticket numbers, if you ignore this, you


will regret it later. Microsoft and AOL are now the largest Internet


companies and in an effort to make sure that Internet Explorer remains


the most widely used program, Microsoft and AOL are running an e-mail


data test.

Reply:Scam, scam, scam. If you take some time to think about it, if a multibillion dollar corporation such as Microsoft was actually conducting a Sweepstakes or other type of contest; wouldn't the world have been notified via computer, television, radio, newspapers and possibly carrier pigeon before notifications went out to individuals.?????





Scam, just a bit more creative.
Reply:Just remember - if you didn't enter a sweepstakes, you can not win one. If it sounds too good to be true, it's a scam.
