Legal Question in Legal Ethics in United Kingdom

UK National Lottery winnings

I recieved notice of winning UK lottery in the amount of 100,983 GPB. I'm required to pay courier services up Front. There are three options to make payment to Chase Couriers LTD. in England. Payment is to be wired via Western Union, I also talked them into a payment option of a 2 day delivery which costs $1,470.94 but because of my fixed income from Social Security, they will accept $575 now and I'm to wire the remainder after recieving winnings?? They have provided me an Guarantors Letter, but their actual e-mails are spewed with misspellings, incorrect verbage and was told I had one week to accept, this was November 18th. I have around 20 e-mails, you are more than welcome to view. I could really use $200,000 and can't afford to lose $575. Any and all advice is greatly appreciated, Thanks, -- ......727-417-2718

This is one of many scams floating around the internet. Mt advice is not to waste your $574. If it was me, I wouldn't waste a $.39 stamp!
