After speaking with ANGELA THOMAS and her stated to please call immediately once the check clears I knew that it had to be a scam.

Please be warned of these letters. She gives you an address of agents that you are to send money to via MoneyGram and the addresses given were hotel addresses. I have called the hotels for each person and of course there is no one by that name staying there.
