Absolutely a scam. The poor spelling and grammar are a dead giveaway.
If you need further convincing, just google for "Ariel Bertis".

Looks dodgy, another version of a 419 scam. Phone number is holland if I'm not mistaken.
Probably you contact them and they say that to release the money you need to pay a small administration fee, etc.... until you realise you've
been conned or have got seriously in debt.
However, my friend, I personally am the managor of Umba Gumba bank in Nigeria and have facillitated a sum of 45 million dollars from the late Dr
Smith. If you kindly will send me all the bank details I will send you many false promisses of lots of money in return for your help.
Many blessings

another reason it must be fake is because the business model doesnt add up - you havent bought a ticket, and they havent recieved any publicity. These
are the only two reasons i can think of for giving money away!
Beware! Bourettes is binfectious.

a guy i work with was selling a phone on ebay. He mentioned in the ad that he would only ship uk.
The winner was in Canada. So, they asked if he would still ship. No probs he says. Ok - but could you please ship it to my sister in Nigeria. She
needs it really fast, so is there any chance that you could post it now, and the cheque will be with you by the end of the week.
And he had to ask his workmates if there might be something wrong with the sale.....

I am convinced that the saying " There is 1 born every minute " is grossly inaccurate
