yeah i dont think it was legit, cuz i found quite a lot of typo. couldnt even spell the "head co-ordinator's" name right, Micheal instead of Michael.

at any case, so far no info from me nor sending money to them have been asked yet and still waiting for the reply. so im just gonna play along and see.

If you didn't enter...you didn't win.

If King Ofthe-Burger dies and his children wish to get his billion dollar fortune into the United States and you are selected, go for it!!! They will even give you half the fortune.

If something is too good to be true, it probably is.

Also, learn to recognize internet scams (such as this one). You'll have a much easier time going through life without wondering when that $2.5M is going to show up.
