Id say what ever it is its some sort of scam and I would keep well away and just get rid of the email.

It's a scam...

They tell you you've won millions only to ask for money to get the "paper work" formulated, or any other lie, so that it can "be sent" to you...

Trash it...

Yeah, protect your email address. I've just created a working address that I'll throw away in a few weeks.

Give him your name of: Adam Baum

Use the email address of: adam@forumgarden.com

Or heck...I can just send him that info.

Well that one in particular maybe...

But I do believe there are many other scams out there associated with emails that ask for money as well...

I wouldn't even open something like this...they could get your address book and get this thing going really good. Just delete it then empty your Trash folder. Make sure you have good protection on you computer.
