I received this e-mail today saying I had won a lottery prize of one MEELYUN pounds sterling. Now, ordinarily I would delete it , the pressing of the deletion key to be accompanied by a derisive snort. However, in this instance, the e-mail came from this organization to which I did, in fact, submit my name a long time ago. I signed up for this daily lottery drawing years and years ago, and had forgotten all about it until today. I used to keep up with it a bit, and do a manual entry every day, but it got to be a little much, so I just did the automatic entry thing and forgot about it.

So, I get this official-looking e-mail asking me to submit some information (nothing obviously eyebrow-raising like my SSN or bank account number, just my e-mail address, home address and phone number) and to sign the form and submit it by e-mail or fax.

I'm wondering whether I should send it back.

You snort? Do you headbutt the monitor and smack the floor with your heel as well?
