Hey, I got the same letter and spoke to some guy that called himself "Steve Zimmerman/Frank Osborn/Audrey Gates." This is a total scam and I would advise anyone that receives one of these letters to trash it. Was there any other information that you got out of this? I would like to find out how to pursue some kind of investigation.

I received a letter stating that I had won a lottery or sweepstakes from a company called City Financial LTD. in the amount of $275,000.00. There was also a check enclosed for $3,950 which was deducted from my winnings to pay for taxes. I was to call the claims attorneys "Steve Zimmerman or Audrey Gates for instructions on claiming my prize. I called and was instructed to deposit the check and Money gram $3,150 to a Lisa Regent for service taxes. My package was supposedly shipped when i got a call from "Mr. Zimmerman" stating that my package was stopped at the border for not having the proper insurance. The fee for proper insurance was $618.78 that was to be Money gram to a "Laura Davis". Once that was done my package was supposed to be delivered and never showed. Later I found that the original check sent for $3,950 had not cleared the bank.
