Susan Boyle wants to give me £500,000

A forum for posting "You have one the lottery" letters, and for asking whether the e-mail that your received is real (it isn't). Real lotteries do NOT advise winners by e-mail, and they do NOT require the payment of any fees up-front.

Does anyone have any idea if using the zero in place of the letter o has any significance?

I'm guessing it is to fool spam filters.

I am always amazed with by the lack of originality when it comes to names used by the scammers in West Africa.

A few years ago, "Hillary Clinton" of the "Hillary Clinton Loan Firm" was trolling the Yahoo!Answers personal finance board looking for marks. At this time, the real Ms. Clinton was rather busy with her 2008 campaign.
