But then, at the end of the email, I see this rather strange notice:

WARNING!
You must keep strict confidentiality of your Prize Award claims to yourself until your money is successfully handed over to you in other to avoid disqualification that may arise from double claims. Yahoo Awards Team shall not be held liable for any loss of funds arising from the above mentioned.

OK. So there’s a typo….. And this legal notice doesn’t read all that legal…. And non of the officers listed above even have a Yahoo e-mail address. Oh, who cares! I’m $550,000,00 richer!!!!!

I’m the luckiest man in the world!!!!!!
