Award Scam

This is a supposed award scam which we receive at least once a week from various senders. I guess they think it's so well written that many try this one. We're not sure if it's from Italy, Africa, or somewhere else in Europe. We are sure that we receive this email over and over. Subject read: VITTORIO FONDAZIONE (WINNING NOTIFICATION)

Please note that these donations/Grants are strictly

have been able to collect your donation, as there have been many cases of
double and unqualified claim, due to beneficiaries informing third parties
