Answer 1

Fake.  Don't do it!!

Answer 2

This is so phoney.  Gad get real!

Answer 3

fake fake fake...... e-mail them back and ask for a phone #, you will never hear from them again.

Answer 4

most likely a scam/spam. i highly doubt they'd track your email down through your last name.

Answer 5

THIS IS NOT REAL.

Any important things like that aren't even sent through letters/telephone calls, let alone emails. They would contact you personally if it was really that important. Never release any personal information to an unkown sender; if it was important, they'd already know your personal info.

Answer 6

That is a very typical scam letter trying to get your personal information and your money.  Do not answer or open any links when you get these.

Answer 7

it sounds like it is too good to be true, but i would look into it b/c you will always wonder if you don't get to the bottom of it.

Answer 8

S----C----A----M

--Dose  that look like any legal document you've ever seen?

Answer 9

someone offering that much money sounds like a scam

Answer 10

Fake, but I had heard once on NPR that a lot of these types of emails are actually replicates of letters sent out hundreds of years ago with the same intent of scamming people, which is funny if it's true.

Answer 11

It's a scam. They will take your money.
