J. Michaels (Vice President Finance)
I'm sorry this letter seems so long....I just wanted to show you what was said in my letter. I looked up this same thing on line and found someone had gotten the very same letter as me. With the same EXACT serial and luck winning numbers.
If anyone receives a letter like this do not act. It is a BIG SCAM. I did alot of research on complaint lines and scamming sites. I repeat DO NOT ACT. Instead take it to your local or state police department, turn it in to the FBI, or an Attorney.
The Check you receive is a fraud check!!! Do not cash it and send it anywhere. You will be fined from the bank.

I looked up the addresses for each place. For the one mentioned 404 Almond Street, Saint John, NB, Canada. E5B 4P6 is a travel agent site. There is no J. Michaels that I could find...for an Outlook Financial Branch.
Only thing I could find on a J. Michael, was the store MICHAELS. Which is a store not mentioned in the letter.
When I looked up Adrian Johnson, Arts and Photography came up.
And for Kent Hill, my search came up with Schools and Real Estate Agents.
