Email Received Regarding Winning A Ipod Is This For Real??

I'm a member of the Craigslist support team. Last month Craigslist formed a new partnership with Apple Inc. for a special limited time promotional event: we are giving away free Apple iPads to randomly picked Craigslist users. We select a winner by picking a random Craigslist post and declaring poster as that day's iPad winner. Your craigslist post "$47000 / 2br - House on Tee lake (West Branch MI)" was selected as today's winner. Congrats!!! You just won a free Apple iPad currently worth $850. We have created a special website to make it easy for each winner to get their iPad. To get your free iPad please complete a few simple steps HERE We will ship your iPad free of charge in 1-3 business days. One of our recent winners thought this was a scam so I want to personally confirm on behalf of Craigslist that this is a legit offer. In fact you are welcome to reply back to this email and contact us directly with any questions you might have. Before contacting us, we strongly suggest you complete the steps HERE to get your free iPad so that one is reserved for you before we run out. Thank you for using Craigslist, Craigslist SupportCraigslist Inc.
