"We are pleased to advice(sic) you that you are one of the winners in the second category of Sweepstake and Lottery Draw held on October 1st, 2008...."
Wow, really, I won $450,000? And the money to pay the taxes is coming to me from an elementary school in Florida? Gee, that's amazing. Lemme guess, this is how ING plans to use the funds from the bailout to stimulate the economy, right? Right???
Okay, so I had a good laugh about the crazy letter and enclosed check I received in the mail today. I thought it made for funny blog fodder. Hopefully no one receives such a letter and takes it seriously.
Hope everyone out there has a Happy Thanksgiving tomorrow!

Getting stuff like this is always a great laugh. I especially like it when the British Lottery contacts me. Oh, and Vladimir Putin. I get something from him about once a month.
The crazy thing is this had a real (albeit fraudulent) check attached.
This is a crazy crazy letter. And they sent it over Thanksgiving week, so no one would be able to contact the school board from whom the check was issued. I find this whole thing interesting.
