Sweepstakes

A friend of mine just received a letter stating, in so many words, that she has won fifteen thousand dollars form the
Thornhill Casino Sweepstakes H2 Apollo Rd
Markham, OH L4L
8K8
Canada

They sent her a check to pay the taxes on her prize and she must cash it and send it to them in order to receive the prize
It smells fishy to me but I can't figure how they intend to rob her.

Any thoughts?

A "fiend" of mine..... LMAO.... I can't figure how someone would rob one, either. :P

Ah, you edited it, spoilsport spoilsport :P
Kidding

Advise her to abstain.
