This is almost word for word for an Email stating that I had "won" the UK National Lottery

Since I inquired about it's legitmacy to the Email,
I have had four or five calls instructing me to go right to Western Union to send them the 1000 L "processing fee", which as you can imagine I am very loathe to do. Then I should call them back in the UK with my account information as to where they can release the funds. To the tune of 800,000 L.
