Publishers Clearing House, H. Smith, VP; LI Insurance Co Of America; The Bank Of New York Delaware I received a letter and a check for $4965.00 on 04/23/2009. The letter states that I have won 250,000 from a Consumer Promotion Draw Ottawa, Canada Other

I received a letter stating I won $250,000 from a Consumer Promotion Draw organized for customers of Wal-Mart, Home Depot, etc and a check for $4,965.00 to cover the Canadian Taxes on the winnings. I have to cash the check and moneygram $3,959.55 to tax agent, Lionila Deens in Halifax,Canada, and then I will receive my winnings by Courier in the form of a certified check. There will be around $1000 left over from this check. Is this for real? Should I cash this check and send them their tax money. they are not asking for any of MY money. The check is drawn on the Bank of New York (Delaware) which is a big banking system. The company name on the check is LI Insurance Company of America, 4333 Edgewood Road NE, PO Box 3183, Cedar Rapids, IA 52406. I just want to know what to do, if I should go through the trouble of cashing it, etc.
