RE: AWARD NOTIFICATION NOTICE
We are pleased to inform you of release of the EL GORDO DE LA PRIMITIVA PROGRAM
held on 25TH MARCH 2005.
Among the 25 participating international finalists playing 6000 full tickets
in the fifth series, from a pool of ? 38,696,000.75c (THIRTY EIGHT MILLION
SIX HUNDRED AND NINETY SIX THOUSAND EUROS SEVENTY FIVE CENT) in cash, your
serial number 2561000 with ticket number 42473 drew the lucky numbers 16-23-36-39-41
which consequently won a prize in the 3rd category. You have therefore been
approved for a lump sum payout of ? 1,547,000.87c (One Million Five Hundred
and Forty Seven Thousand Euros Eighty Seven Cents) in cash credited to a
file ref. Nº 2561000. Congratulations!!!!!.
Due to the impossibility to reach you, your fund and file has been deposited
with a security company registered to your file claim number and insured
in your name. Please forward all claims to them as a bond has been placed
on your award and they will be responsible for handling and remittance of
won prices and funds until they are accurately disbursed. The deadline for
this notice is the 25th April 2005. Non-compliance within this period may
result in disqualification and insured prizes will be returned to the MINISTERIO
DE ECONOMIA Y HACIENDA as unclaimed. Due to mixed up of some numbers and
names, we ask that you keep this award from public notice until your claim
has been processed and your money remitted to your nominated account, as
this is a part of our security protocol to avoid double claiming or unwarranted
advantage of this program by participants. All participants were selected
through a computer ballot system drawn from 25.000 names from USA, New Zealand,
Europe, south America, Australia, Middle East, Africa and Asia as part of
our international Promotions Program. We hope your lucky name will draw
a bigger cash prize in subsequent programs.
To begin your claim, please contact Your Agent, at E-mail:interclaim_reps@mail2world.com
Foreign operation manager of INTERNATIONAL CLAIM REPRESENTATIVES S. P. for
handling and payment procedures.
