I got the following message today from Dr (Mrs.) Mariam Andrew, congratulating me for winning the sum of 1,550,952.00 GBP from Microsoft Online Promo Mega Jackpot Lottery Awards programme. And I have to submit just my personal information. Interestingly, I've never participated in any Lottery Programme.
