Dear Ms. Bryant,

I looked up the foundation online, so now I know what is it; however, you sent me an attachment without any introduction or explanation except for "Enquiry to receive", which of course, is a red flag as far as cyber security is concerned, so 1. Who are you?, 2. What is your connection with the foundation?, 3. I assume that "FEB" is "February" abbreviated. Is that correct and for what does "GHE" stand?, and 4. Exactly what is the attachment? A newsletter or something else?

Thank you for your attention.

I have got the same email, the winning price...

My question is:

Being Google such a great company, knowing all of us, how come this can happen in their name?

It is unacceptable, and they should be sending alerts,

In my case I simply checked, but other people can be victims of this fraud and this is the only thing you are doing?

I can't understand it.

Thanks.

Looking forward to a better action from the biggest company in the world.
