This lottery scam mail started off by saying

"Due to your effort, sincerity, courage and trust worthiness you showed at
the course of theUk Online Lotto winning cheque shipment to your location..."

Unlike the usual lottery scam mail where they claimed to have picked your email address or your "fictitious lottery number" has won the prize, the scammer is offering you a lottery prize as a gift for something you have done right. Obviously, you don't know this guy and you don't know what you have done to earn a lottery prize from him. And you are scratching your head as to how "sincerity, courage and trust worthiness" has anything to do with lottery. But all you have to know is that this incredible story is a scam, and some poor bloke trying to scam you. There is no free lunch.

That several thousands of dollars saved from this scam is better spent on the national lotto ticket at the shop near home.

Subject: MY LITTLE TOKEN WITH GOOD FAITH.

My Dear Friend.

Due to your effort, sincerity, courage and trust worthiness you showed at
the course of theUk Online Lotto winning cheque shipment to your location,
I want to compensate you and show my gratitude to you with the sum of
$500,000USD (Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) I have
authorized the finance house where I deposited the money to issue you
international certified bank draft cashable
at your bank.

My dear winner,I will like you to contact the CEO in charge of the
financehouse for the

collection of this international certified bank draft.

The name of the Person with your Cheque is Mrs Anna Joy

EMAIL: annajoy238@yahoo.it

At the moment, I am very busy in Sydney because of the investment projects
which myself and my new partner Mr. Peter Hills of CTL Express Delivery
Company are having at hand. Finally,remember that I have forwarded
instruction to Mrs. Anna Joy at the financehouse on your behalf to send
the bank draft to you as soon as you contact him without delay. Please I
will like you to accept this token with good faith as this is from the
bottom of my heart. Thanks and God bless you and your family. Hope to hear
from you soon.

My sincere advice to you as a christian is that you should endeavour to
pay your tithe to a bible believing church when you get the money because
I noticed it as a fudiciary agent that you were skeptical about your
winnings when you were been ask by the Uklotto Agency Inc to file out a
claim for your prize. And now the current policy of the Lotto organiser is
that if an emerged winner fails to claim up his/her winning cheque of
$600,000 it's now mandatory that this fund can be remitted or forfeited to
the fudiciary agent in charge of this winners file.

However, I want you to contact him immediately as soon as you receive this
information because he is leaving for the US by the end of this month and
this might cost a delayment for you to receive this draft.

Yours Sincerely,
Mrs. Sandra Jones
