North American Sweepstakes Commission
I got a letter that may have cancled my bank account if I hadn't called my local branch for help!!!

If you got this letter it may be a scam.
We are pleased to inform you that you have officially been declared as a winner in our annual SWEEPSTAKES. This draw was conducted through a random computer ballot system that was held on August 30th, 2008. CONGRATULATIONS!

Many unsuccessful attempts have been made in order for you to claim your prize award. Unfortunately, until now we were unable to contact you due to an error in published telephone system. You are entitled to teh lump sum of $60, 000. This amount is from a total prize of 3.6 million US Dollars that was shared and presented to the other 59 declared winners.

In accordance with the Sweepstakes Commission policy, your prize award money has been forwrded to our clearing/disbursement department to release your funds to you. Your claim number FG-6002219-BC was also assigned to our North American Claim Affiliate. It is important for security reasons to secure your claim number. It must remain confidential to avoid duplicates of your claim until your funds are being remitted to you.

To expedite the proccessing, The North American sweepstakes Commission made a policy that every minning must pay its taxes before delivery to avoid conflict with the International Revenue Services. In addition, our clearing/disbursement department also chrages an administrative fee for our services. Based on this issue, we enclosed an official check. This is to enable you to pay the government applicable taxes and administration fees on your winning. The taxes on this large lump sum cannot be deducted directly from teh winning amount because of teh insurance bond policy coverage on your name.

The associated amount to be paid is $2, 935.00 (Two Thousand Nine Hundred and Thirty Five Dollars Only) Payments will be amde directly to your assigned agent by using MoneyGram. Or go www.moneygram.com and find out the nearest location in you area.

YOu have been assigned to one of our well rtained Claim Analyst by name JULIA GIBSON at 1-416-877-6291. She will be responsible in processing your winnings and also to answer all tour questiones. This officer will work with your until your winning is delivered. We strongly advise that you contact Ms. GIBSON before you can deposit this check in the bank, she will need to instruct you in the check before depositing. If she does not hear from you within a specific period of time, we shall assume that enclosed check as lost. It will be declared null and your winnings will go unclaimed.

Sincerely,
Singed Franz Janse
Promotion Manager

I got this and called Julia and asked a dozen questions and when I had some more questions I called her again and got no answer til this day. If the same happens to you call the police, the local branch, or your township supervisor and tell them. Otherwise if you cash in the check it will close down your whole bank account.
