On January 3, Mr. David White from the West Africa office of the FEDEX COURIER DELIVERTY SERVICE LTD. said he had a bank draft in the amount of $800,000 addressed to my Yahoo email account.

If you didn't enter a contest, you can't possible win it. Also, no lottery contacts you directly. It is always up to the player to buy the ticket and then look up the winning numbers. (as far as I know) I've never heard of any lottery where the state or country calls the player.

My husband received an e-mail stating he had won part of the 40m lottery. They say that they have to honor the winnings eventhough we didn't enter in any such thing. We have two weeks to contact their representative from Nigeria.

I think it is a hoax, can anyone advise?

Thank you
