Kirkland & Ellis LLP., Bank Of Montreal-N.Y. & Canada, Reader's Digest LottoR, Aviva Insurance Co. Reader's Digest Lotto Winner, Toronto

Recieved a letter and check in the mail (May 22, 2009) stating that I was a "participating finalist" in the Reader's Digest Lotto held May 13, 2009 in Canada.

The check was in the amount of $4, 750.09 (from Aviva Insurance Company of Canada) issured by Bank of Montreal of Toronto Ontario and also listed that it was payable through Bank of Montreal in New York, N.Y. The letter stated this was to help pay for Provincial and Federal Taxes on my winnings of $425, 000.00.

The letter was from a law firm, Kirkland & Ellis LLP from Winnipeg Manitoba in Canada. It said they had been appointed to me by mandate of the International Lottery Surplus Commission (ILSC).

It also stated that I was required to contact one of the two attorney's listed for the "activation of my check before I deposit it" and that this step was "very important".

It was signed (printed stamp) by a Jack E. Leanard (if I am correct on the last name, was hard to read) Global Financial Supervisor of Kirkland & Ellis LLP.

First of all, I do not recall entering anything to do with Reader's Digest Lotto. I have not cashed or deposited the check either!
What is scary, I have looked up on the web sites confirming these business' and it all looks very ligit. I have not called any of the numbers, etc. or contacted anyone about this. I feel that it is a fraud and it's better left alone, but if anyone else out there has recieved a letter like this one and knows more information on it, please let me know.
