Shell Oil Company apparently now runs a lottery... a free lottery... picking
winners randomly from email addresses... and giving away about a million dollars
per week. If that makes sense to you, we suggest you re-enroll in kindergarten,
apparently you haven't learned much yet! This is a very obvious scam.
There is NO SUCH THING as a lottery in which "participants for the online
version were selected randomly from
World Wide Web sites through Ballot draw system"
to select winners.
Notice the gibberish writing,
excessive use of CAPITAL letters, etc. Note the other clues to an obvious fraud that we
have highlighted in the
letter; keep confidential, selected by a random computer lottery of email
addresses, use of free hotmail/yahoo email accounts, etc.
