Fantastic news

As I was sitting at home this weekend debating whether the cats, the sweetie or food will be the first to go when the Depression really hits, I received this wonderful email titled "Grant Approved."

I don't remember applying for any grants, because I don't do anything that is vaguely grant-worthy. Nevertheless, this is what I was told:

"The sum of 800,000.00 $ have been accredited and approved in your favor. contact David Mark with Your name.age,location/country,phone number to he. eMAIL :mrdavidmarkatm@vista.aero. Announcer: Mr Young Terry."

Short, intriguing and to the point. Yet, it also raises questions. What is an announcer? Why is he young? Is David Mark really an ATM as suggested by his email address? Should I lie about my age? Do they want my location or my country or both and isn't it one and the same? Does the money come with strings attached or can I spend it on anything I want? How come they've chosen me and yet they do not know my name. Should I be suspicious?
