Letter from Lexington Duke about free airline tickets

I received a comment on a previous post about the same letter with the name of “Lexington Duke.” (See other posts here.) Please comment if you received one and help me fill in missing information. Scan it and send it to me if you can.

It tells you that you have qualified for an award of 2 roundtrip airline tickets.  It says to call 1-866-963-7223 (or 866-963-7205 or 866-951-8033).  It looks like it was actually signed by Jacqueline Pope, the Vice President of the Travel Awards Division.

The www.lexingtonduke.com website exists. Here’s the whois info: http://www.whois.net/whois/lexingtonduke.com — registered August 12, 2010.

They hand write the address on the envelope and use a real stamp.

I have found the answers to this mystery thanks to the great work of the folks at BBB in Tucson, AZ:

I am the proud recipient of a replica of this letter with the name of Madden Hall. See my earlier blog post about that letter.

Someone is not happy:

Oh look what someone posted about me anonymously, of course: http://www.metacafe.com/watch/5201222/brian_morris_tech_fraud/

What a coincidence!  Look at how these videos compare:
