Dear Winner,





WINNING NOTIFICATION


The prestigious Micrsoft and aol has set out and sucessfully organised


a Sweepstakes marking the new year 2007 anniversary we rolled out over


拢5,000.000.00 (Five million Great Britain Pounds) for our end of year


Anniversary Draws. Participants for the 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


compa
Wondering if this is for real?
Sorry to break it to you but it is not for real.





If you ever recieve an email saying you won a sweepstakes or an annuity or even an inheritance, it is always a spoof. If there really was a prize for you, they would have contacted you another way.





Plus, I highly doubt Microsoft would misspell their own name in an official email.

Good Luck!

P.S. On my birthday one of my friend's gave me a lottery ticket. I was screaming and jumping up and down. I had won $100, 000 American Dollars! The first thing I said to her was "We'll split the Money. She started crying cause she felt so bad. The ticket said to redeem at "YO MOMMA'S HOUSE!"





It's funny now but it wasn't then.





LOL!
