To Whom it May Concern.
European Union Award Commission would like to notify you that you have been chosen as one of the final recipients of our Award/Grant for your own personal, educational, and business development.
European Union Award Commission has the objective of improving standard of living, educational, and community development. You have been chosen by European Award Commission as one of the final recipients of our Award/Grant of £4,000,000 (Four Million Great British Pounds Sterling).

Email: feltoncuretonwilliams1@rocketmail.com
We cordially congratulate you and your family for this opportunity been provided by the European Union Award Commission.
You are by all means hereby advised to keep this whole information confidential until you have been able to collect your Award/Grant, as there have been many cases of double and unqualified claim, due to beneficiaries informing third parties about his/her Award/Grant.
Finally, all funds should be claimed by their respective beneficiaries, no later than 15 days after notification. Failure to do so will mean cancellation of that beneficiary and its Award/Grants will then be reserved for next year`s recipients. On behalf of the Board kindly, accept our warmest congratulations
But how should I respond? Entertaining suggestions.
Certainly looks authentic to me. I mean, who could fake an email address like rocketmail.com?
How are you going to spend your retirement?
Since the letter is to whom it may concern, is ther some stupid person you really dislike to send it too?
I’d accept the money. But tell them they can keep the lamp. ;-)
Up the ante, tell them you won’t accept the money without a Nobel Peace Prize.
Gracious accept it on behalf of al-Qaida in America and request that it be sent to Barry’s family in Kenya.
Oh, PLEASE take some time and jerk them around. We all want to play.

That one is for $25.5 million, and I won another million in the Yahoo year-end lottery. For more than a year now, I've been winning millions per day in euros, pounds and dollars, and have several unclaimed FedEx packages containing certified checks for more millions.
LOL!
Rocketmail has been around for years. It was acquired by Yahoo and basically closed down until a year or two ago when Yahoo started running out of email addresses. Yahoo now uses yahoo.com, ymail.com and rocketmail.com for their email accounts.
Respond as Barry Soetoro.
You have all the possible information you need, including place of birth, Mombasa Kenya
If they actually give you the money try getting in gold bars
Here is my first rough draft:
Dear Mr. Felton Cureton-Williams:
Thank you for your kind and generous offer. May I call you Felton?
Felton, please excuse me for appearing ungracious and possibly suspicious, but before we start exchanging bank account and social security numbers, I must know: Are you paying the freight costs for this shipment? I ask, because four million pounds is pretty darned heavy. FedEx has a weight limit of 70 pounds per package, which means you’ll be shipping well over 5,700 boxes to me and each one will cost nearly $200, not counting insurance, to have FedEx ship them. That is an enormous expense, Felton.
Besides, where am I to find the room for more than 5,700 seventy-pound boxes in this tiny rental house? Have you thought of that? Not to mention the poor little FedEx delivery woman we have in this small town. She’ll be exhausted after toting just a few dozen of them from truck to house.
Come to think of it, FedEx will need to send their entire fleet of delivery trucks in my State to make this delivery. Another little fact you should have considered before awarding this prize in pounds.
So Felton, please assure me that you are taking steps to remedy these oversights before we go any deeper into our new-found relationship.
Thanking you kindly, etc., etc.

I say we cut all the internet capable transmissions lines to Nigeria.
And block anything else that escapes here in the US.
LOL! Well done.
Cordially Yours,

Why do you guys get all the luck? All I’ve won is the Polish $3M lottery, where I get $3 a year for one million years.
