GOOD DAY, NOTE:YOUR WINNING NO[protected] (46) BONUS (06)
This is to inform you that you have WON the sum of £500.000.00 Pounds from our 2011 New Year promo charity bonanza. The draw no.1569 brought out your e-mail address from a Data Base of Internet Email Users and qualified you a benefited winner of the stated winning amount, in the ongoing £44.4million Spring lottery charity bonanza for London's heritage,
Held on the 05th January 2011. The BBC One National Lottery Fund gives grants to sustain and transform individual lives all over the globe for the less privilege once; we are here to use our diverse heritage to change lives in every part.
I sent the form to him to be filled regarding my personall details.
There is no response from him so far.
After I sent the form to him I started to tremble. I do not know whether I made a serious blunder by doing that. I am not sure whether the letter was sent to me from a hacker. Please help me by informing that whether the letter I got was fake.

Sir, I have to continue the former letter because another letter I have received one hour ago today.
This letter says (after congratulating me and informing some addressess to be contacted) :
Please note:We have paid for your certified parcel courier charges, the only fee you are liable to pay foris your country customs stamp duty/Notarization Clearance fee of 450.00 GBP Equivalent To (Rs.32, 231.44 INR), for approval of your certified parcel delivery by the Indian Customs.
Is it true? Is it an attempt to steal the money from ``winners''(!)? Shall I proceed? One more question.Even if somebody answers in this website affirmatively, how can I trust his/her letter as this website is open to all and anybody can write anything which will be published instantly. What is the proof that the letter which may give me assurance is not from a cheat?
