Default Is it true what is stated here?

Hello friend,

how are you

Received this message in response to my email

I want to make sure the authenticity of these letters

Where I received a lot of these messages indicate that I won

A large amount of money in the lottery online, and after asking me, ask me to send the amount of the value of the shipment of the prize

I received many letters like this from Microsoft is racing to the Internet and other
But I did not believe the awards have been withheld


Thank you very much for your attention
