Dont EVER be Fooled!

hi,
i also just got a very similar e-mail to the above. was happy to find this site which confimed my serious doubts. although i must say they don t seem to be the cleverest of people, the several spelling and grammar errors as well as the lack of any official touch to the e-mail wouldn t make many people believe they won 450000 (!!) pounds through random allocation
Aaron Macmillan on October 2nd, 2008 1:36 am

Hey, if you do recieve any mail like this, play with the fella a little bit.
Trust me, these people deserve it.
Get angry at them for supposedly calling them in the morning, while in the shower etc.
Also, plague them with many-many replies.
if any of your friends are hackers, please, hack their e-mail and password.
kindly post it here. i wanna play with them.
THNX!!!
