I get one of these types of emails at least once a day if not more. I've only responded to one, and suprisingly enough, they did not answer back. JB, are you going to continue corresponding with them to see how far it goes?

No, I won't bother, after doing some research on them I found that they will go as far as giving you ID and fraudulent documentation with a punch line of sending 'x' dollars in courier fees for delivery of your lottery money - in other words they are as good as they come: crazy thieves.
