    Great British pounds
    Madami kasing tabatsoy, hahahaha.

    The real question is: How can you win a lottery you didn't join?

    nowadays, it's very easy to send fake messages just to annoy other people. it's probably their source of enjoyment.

    the veracity of the letter will surely depend on this specific question: did you ever join any game of chance involving the BMW Automobile International Awareness Promotion? if not, then it is untrue.

    how can the person who sent you the electronic mail know your email address? it's absurd. he should not be inquiring about your particulars if you have actually won that kind of prize. no person in his right mind will give a BMW automobile without knowing the true name of the donee.

    Don't know but these bad boys claimed they used some kind of "Computerized E-mail Selection System" or whatever they called it. I just don't really get it. Don't try to trust these bad boys.

    Why should I? I'm not the one doubting the veracity of the e-mail. All it takes is a bit of common sense (and google'ing).

    Yes, I do. I get a lot of them, even thu the post. If every notofication that I've won this and that lottery were true, I should be a multi-billionaire by now ... in Great British Pounds.
