I also got the same sweepstakes letter with all the same information... your right the money would have been useful....

I received a letter in the mail on 10/14/08 from Sky financial services, inc. 1978 Trans-metro st. Calgary, Alberta, Canada stating that I won a sweepstakes in conjuction with the SWEEPSTAKES ASSOCIATION OF NORTH AMERICA for the sum of 250K. I was to contact Mary Goodman and Rebecca Duncan and use the check of $4530.00 which they sent me to pay my GST tax to agent Rita Sliverman of 1157 Burred Rd. Calgary, Alberta, Canada. the check is from Corporate Traffic, Inc. which is a trucking company in Jacksonville, FL thru UNION BANK OF CHANDLER. I am glad I googled the sweetstakes name and found this page with all this helpful information about people who have run into this same scam. The money would have been very usful though.
