Invest all the money in companies that have eco-friendly policies and or a good "give back to the community" programs and then live frugally off the dividends while you spend your time personally working for charities or volunteer organizations.

Start by giving me all of the money you have BEFORE collecting this money (they get you that way, if you have money before claiming, you're obviously profiting and can be taxed for it...)
Then, donate 10,000 to the SYs.
Another 10,000 should go to random charity
and then live on the rest. No, not put it in a bank, literally, build a house on top of all that money stacked up.

Being Chivalrous to the end Cabbage, I think you should give it all to the homeless, but then again, they'd just spend it on drink and drugs, and that's what
you need it for. haha :)
seriously though, that email looks pretty authentic, I wouldn't be suprised if that check comes tomorrow. You're still gonna fly me home to England and shower me with booze and prezzies like you always promised right?
