I've recieved a simliar email telling me that I won 2,000,000.00 (Sterling) from a RICHARD OWENS. Because my email was randomly chosen. According to the info I recieved. 5 Winners are chosen every month for this lottery. I'm glad I came to this site to investigate, because it looks like MORE than just 5 winners have been chosen. So I conclude that it's defnetelely a SCAM. If I were anyone of you. I would NOT release any personal information whatsoever.

I received the same letters from Richard Owens, almost exact duplicate of some of the above letters, This has to be a scam because, he wants me contact the bank immediatly with my bank acct. to the Barclays Bank in the uk. United Kingdom, with info., that if I had won any real money, I answered bank to the UK Barclays Bank, just to mail me my cashiers check to my home address. What a shame we have to be decived in such a way, and to know he involved Bill Gates at Microsoft Corp, under the name o Richard Owens Chairman. My name is; Martha B. West Amelia Va. 23002
