I recieved the very same letter, also enlcosed was a check. I contacted the gentleman who signed the letter and he too advised me this was the "real deal". Being the skeptic that I am, I contacted the bank that the check was drawn off of and was advised at that time DO NOT DEPOSIT THAT CHECK. The bank was aware of this scam but because the operation is based out of Ontario, there really isn't anything that they can do. I contacted the local police authorities and was told to "trash it". I did but not before calling the gentleman back that I had initially talked to concerning my "winnings" and advised him that I contacted the bank as well as the police. His comment "Why" Why would you do that"? I said because you're a fraud and have no right to do this to people. The last thing he said to me was " I'll just tell the police you were in on it". I found this comment to be quite amusing. If in fact something seems too good to be true. it is.
