Lottery Scam Letter

Blue Fountain Lottery International

Mr. Baker Williams, Lottery Coordinator

Rev. Smith Michael, Financial Agent

 

 

Letter Source Report: While appearing to have originated in Australia from the BigPond/Tesltra ISP, it was actually written by a swindler in the -0800 Time Zone, which is Pacific Standard Time, while Australia is in the +1000 Time Zone

For your information, Mr. Gates of Microsoft does not sponsor lotteries.  Operating a lottery is another thing altogether, and if you want to know how this whole Bill Gates in lottery scam letters thing got started, go here.  The other personalities listed in this letter do not sponsor lotteries either, and reference to them in this context is laughable.
