So I thought I would reply back to them:rolleyes: With reference to your email I am enquiring as to how I claim my BMW and £850,000,000. I am out a lot of the time so would be most grateful if you could park the BMW outside my house and post the keys along with the cheque.
Many thanks.
ps I cant believe how lucky I am yesterday I was also informed I had won the same amount and a BMW.
Many thanks

I would have replied to them by email (like wokkies) (assuming it is a throwaway email address cos they might be seeing what addresses they get replies from to send loads of that delicious spam) and then I would have sent the reply email to Trading Standards. All I can say is if this were genuine they must have a lot of money & BMWs to give away!What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare0
