American Sweepstakes Publishers has claimed that I have won $254,204.00, how do they know, ripoff Shawnee Mission Kansas

For quite some time now, I have been recieving notice from American Sweepstakes Publisher's that there is and I quote," a Data Documentation Prize Report in the amount of $254,204.00 being held for the person identified and herein at left." My name being at the left.

Leading me to believe that somewhere out there is money that I have somehow, miraculosly, won without knowing about it.

There is no telephone number on the document leading to an end in the suspense, just an address, and of course, request for money.

If you read the document carefully, maybe more than once, it is obvious that this clearly in no way is a legitiment letter indicating winnings, it simply implies it, in a rather obsurd way.

I wonder how much this "Micheal A. Washington" ,who is stated in the document to be the "Director" of this "American" friendly organization, I wonder just how much money he has brought in by sending these letters out to people who have been waiting for a financial miracle? I wonder if the $254,204.00 that he/they claim we have won is really the amount of profit he/they have recieved in response from a "hopeful public", rather than an amount that we could recieve.
