This email message is a fake lottery scam. Consider the following facts about real lotteries:

They don't notify winners by email.
You can't win without first buying a lottery ticket.
They don't randomly select email addresses to award prizes to.
They don't use free email accounts (Yahoo, Hotmail, etc) to communicate with you.
They don't tell you to call a mobile phone number.
They don't tell you to keep your winnings secret.
They will never ask a winner to pay any fees to receive a prize!

The Microsoft Windows lottery has discovered a huge number of double claims due to
winners informing close friends relatives and third parties about their winning and also
sharing their pin numbers. As a result of this, these friends try to claim the lottery
on behalf of the real winners. The Microsoft lottery has reached a decision from
headquarters that any double claim discovered by the Lottery Board will result to the
canceling of that particular winning, making a loss for both the double claimer and the
real winner, as it is taken that the real winner was the informer to the double claimer
about the lottery. So you are hereby strongly advised once more to keep your winnings
strictly confidential until you claim your prize.

Congratulations from the Staffs & Members of the interactive Lotteries Board Commission
