I know this was a spam, but i was wondering what if this was true. Really i had a bream of living happy after receiving this e-mail. Then i made some Google search and found that it is fraudulent, And people who believe this and claim the money as per the mail are asked to pay some high cash for getting the lottery amount. As i know you all know this is a spam, anyways hope that in future you get a mail of same kind but not a spam.
