Another scam lottery, even the name, Techie Charity Promotion, sounds ridiculous. Another "email address lottery" that receives it's money from taxes and "large corporations"; oh, yeah, right. Governments and corporations do NOT give away money to people who have an email address.
Note the other clues to an obvious fraud that we have highlighted in the letter; keep confidential, selected by a random computer lottery of email addresses, use of free hotmail/yahoo email accounts, etc.
