Dear all,

This is just a quick reminder to let you know that a lot of our residents are reporting receiving e-mails from the same sender with notifications that they have won a lottery payout. 

I must emphasise, please do not open any attachments from people you don't know, as they may contain viruses.  In this case, the Word documents were an attempt to get banking details from you.   I have attached a copy of the Word document, under no circumstances should you respond to these type of requests.
