If you take a close look at the "Oslo Lottery Certificate",
you can see that it actually is a modified certificate from the (also
fake) Global Mega Lottery.
It is also similar to this certificate from the Euro-Afro-American
Sweepstake Lottery [Note that Kenneths email address is kennethjordan_euro_afro_lottery@hotmail.com]:

This is to acknowledge the receipt of your details which is in favor
of TUSHAR and the instructions to immediately effect the transfer of
your winnings as were instructed us initially from its home of Origin

It should occur to you that the management of First National Bank(FNB)South
Africa would not be answerable to a penalty against violation of the
international law of the Insurance mortgage brokers. As you may have
known, your funds were insured by an insurance equity well certified.
Please do note that this is non negotiable as we are strictly restricted
from effecting the transfer until the charges have been paid,Therefore
you are advised to corporate with this authority by paying the tax charges
to enable us effect transfer of your funds to your nominated account.
You have Three Banking days to comply with our protocols.Your winnings
will be transferred 24hrs upon the confirmation of the stated charges
.
You will pay the US$1,775,00 through the oslo lottery claim agent office
for the clearance of the bank processing charge to enable our bank remit

The (real) "First National Bank" does not use free email
accounts like Yahoo and webmail.co.za.
Tushar stopped here. Maybe he will be a millionaire another day?
