During our investigation we discovered that your e-mail won the money from an Online Balloting System and we have authorized this winning to be paid to you via a Certified Cashier's Check. Normally, it will take up to 10 business days for an International Check
to be cashed by your local bank. We have successfully notified this company on
your behalf that funds are to be drawn from a registered bank within the United
States Of America so as to enable you cash the check instantly without any
delay, henceforth the stated amount of $800,000.00 USD has been deposited with
Bank Of America.
We have completed this investigation and you are hereby approved to
receive the winning prize as we have verified the entire transaction to be Safe

The total amount for everything is $400.00 (Two Hundred-US Dollars). We
have tried our possible best to indicate that this $400.00 should be deducted
from your winning prize but we found out that the funds have already been
