RE: PRIZE/AWARD NOTIFICATION.
This is to inform you of the release of ASIAN PACIFIC INTERNATIONAL
PROMOTIONS ORGANIZATION PRIZE DRAW, held on the 5th of April 2005, but

of 03-05-12-14-28-38, which consequently won the lottery in the 5th
category. You have therefore been approved for a lump sum pay of

to file with REF:
N.EGS/3662367114/13. This is from a total cash prize of 70,020.225.00,
shared among the twenty-five international winners in this category.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Your fund is now deposited with our Bank/Security Company Bangkok
Thailand and insured in your name. Due to mix up of some numbers and
names, we ask that you keepthis award from public notice until your
claim has been processed, and the money remitted to your account, as
this is part of our security protocol, to avoid double claiming and
unwarranted taking of advantage of this program by participants, as has
happened in the past.

from 25,000 names, email addresses & official addresses, from Asia,
Australia, New Zealand, Europe, North and South America, Middle East and
Africa, as part of our International Promotions Program.

lottery in your name.

winnings prize, because the money is insured in your name already.
