Congratulations to you and to Mr Bill Gate a great Man who makes us always dream.
Posted by: Pape M.Diop at June 3, 2006 01:31 PM
I also got this, it was nice to dream, and wouldn't it be nice. Never sent my full name. And if asked for money thats a no-no. If it was legit, I would get the check probably by hand, not having them courier it. I told them to take 100,000 us dollars out of the 10 million I won and hire a private jet, fly to my city and hand deliver me the check, then keep the rest if its real.

I have a question more than a comment.
What if I responded to one of these emails.
I did not send them any personal information.
What do all the numbers they send mean? Is there some kind of hidden code in them that allows them to get your personal information?
If anyone knows please let me know.
