I watched, enthralled, for over an hour and that i shall on no account ignore seeing my Mantis gradually boost and unfold its form new rainbow-shimmering wings. next day I released it onto a grapevine in my backyard, a similar backyard wherein I subsequently discovered a swarm of very tiny, those days hatched mantids! they're the cutest little creatures you should ever think of.

If something seems too good to be true, it probably is.
Hi,
Unfortunately it is too good to be true. First of all, any contest you did not directly participate in is a scam.
I received the same type of letter from a Terry Blesdsoe, also from the UK, asking me to telephone him A.S.A.P. with my personal information to claim my prize.
sorry but no, it's not true. I am still waiting on collecting...

Not true. This is a scam. Report it as spam, delete, and move on.
Never give out personal information.
I won that one 3 times last week and a couple of BMW's too.
Just ignore this kind of thing, it's a scam.
It's a bladdy scam. They do it in different names and contests. I've reported some to the Metropolitan police in UK. U should do the same.
its a nigerian money scam everything loks official...even sometimes a check.
they have you mail them money for a TAX payment or a PROCESSING fee,
you will never see the money again.
it is the same as chaine letters and email trains it doesn't work .
the letter is valuable only as a piece of historical history.
SCAM SCAM Dont give out info to strangers
If it sounds too good to be true, then chances are that it is...
