This scam shows up once in a while. It's about a balloting draw where you can win a visa to travel to the USA. First of all, the US government is certainly not giving away visa to randomly picked people. Second, you can only aply for a visa yourself at the US ambassy in your country, no one else can give or arrange that for you. Note that this scammer has a link to the website of the US citizenship and immigration service. When you visit this website you will see that there's nothing there about a balloting draw where you can win visa. Also note that the scammer wants you to pay for processing fees, and once you've done that, the scammer will ask you to pay for more fees.
