OK everyone. Lawyers do not use gmail. These are all variations of the dying man/woman scam. They are known as 'Money box scams'. The situation changes, but it always involves you being contacted about a large amount of money. The scam? At some point, when they have you thinking you'll get something for nothing, is to convince you to send a 'fee' to help move the money along. It could be taxes on a lottery win, airport fee, courier service - you name it. They are all very simple Nigerian advance fee scams. You send money = you get nothing. Would everyone PLEASE check the settings on your Facebook accounts. And stop 'friending' strangers. If they say they are a 'friend' of Joe/Sally - contact Joe/Sally FIRST. If Joe/Sally don't know who they are, & just clicked 'accept', tell Joe/Sally they aren't too swift.

WARNING, WARNING THIS IS A SCAM WARNING WARNING THIS IS A REAL SCAM
I received the same exact letter with the same winning numbers. Don't these people have better thaings to do instead of trying to rip people off? I work hard for my money and , I'm not going to just give it away.
I received the same letter from the same "company", Fidelity Finance Inc... Got suspicious as there were too many different company names involved to be legitimate: company letter head from Fidelity Finance Inc, company name on the check: Republic Conduit Maverick C&P, Inc Corporate, the bank name on the check said JP Morgan Chase in Syracuse, NY, post marked from Canada. ARE YOU FLIPPING SERIOUS!!!! Rather than address the letter to me it should have been addressed "Hey Stupid Idiot", because obviously they think I am.
According to the letter I won some survey, but I haven't entered or participated in any surveys. This is all a scam for some sick jerk to rip off hard working people. People who sit around creating ways to scam hard working people of their hard earned money really need to get a REAL job. Life is too short for games and petty BS, why waste your life on criminal activities? Get a job, get a life, and stop wasting time, my time, on fake [***] crap.
This letter screams SCAM!!!!! DO NOT FALL FOR THIS SCAM
