this is a total scam as they will ask for 4500 English pounds in order to process your "winnings" and transfer it to your account. PLEASE CHECK UP ON ALL EMAILS THAT PROMISE TO PAY YOU ANYTHING!!! I can't stress that enough. It is hard enough to live in this world without the thieves now getting to you through this sort of scam.
I am providing this web site as a way to check into some of these frauds and find out what is what. Go to:
http://419.bittenus.com/ This is one of many web sites designed to help out the unwary. It is a place where a woman has gotten so fed up with these scammers that she has decided to put out the word. Please post any and all other web sites that help us put an end to these scammers. And remember to treat each promise of easy money with much skepticism and wariness. Protect yourself and your family.
