This document claims to notify the recipient that they have won £720,000 in a Yahoo/Windows Live prize draw. It provides identification numbers for the recipient and instructs them to contact a Dr. Francis Owen to submit the numbers and claim the prize. However, the document warns that any similar emails or contacts from other individuals should be ignored and deleted, as the notification is likely a scam to collect personal information. It signs off claiming to be from Yahoo and Windows Live executives, but such a large prize notification from major companies would likely not contain spelling/grammar errors and unverifiable contact information.
