Sent me a check saying i won a international shopping sweepstakes lottery

I recieved a letter in the mail stating that i won the international shopping sweepstakes lottery out of Ottawa Ontario.

The letter states:

Dear Winner,

We are pleased to inform you that you are one o the declared winners of the INTERNATIONAL SHOPPING SWEEPSTAKES LOTTERY held on February 7th, 2009 (which by the way didn't even have internet at that time.)

Then it goes on telling me that i am entitled to $125, 000.00 US DOLLARS. There was a check included in the amount of $4795.00 and in the letter it says it has been deducted from my winnings to enable me to pay the applicable GOVERNMENT TAXES.

The tax amount is $3995.00 to be sent by MONEYGRAM!! There are two names given in the letter. Angela Salem and George Stanley and the letter was electronically signed by Mrs. Brenda Hicks.

The phone number given on the letter is 1-647-830-4118

This is a scam do not proceed with cashing the check!!!
