Lottery Scam Letter

Letter Source Report: This letter appears to have originated in The Netherlands according to the VisualRoute results.  In fact, it originated from a location of 0000 GMT which places the swindler's computer smack dab in the British Isles.  One may perhaps assume that the alias Tina "Wales" might provide a clue as to the actual location :)  In this instance, it's best to report the scam mail  to abuse@rediffmail.com.  From their investor info: "Founded in 1996, Rediff.com is headquartered in Mumbai, India with offices in New Delhi and New York, USA."

NOTE: The swindler tried to misdirect this letter to make himself hard to find through the misuse of a private IP.
