ATTENTION: CONGRATULATIONS!
Dear Friend,
RE: AWARD NOTIFICATION.
This is to inform you of the release of THE NATIONAL LOTTERY INTERNATIONAL
PROMOTIONS PRIZE DRAW, held on the 25th of DECEMBER 2004, but owing to
some mix up of numbers and addresses and the holidays, the results were
released on the 1ST JULY, 2005. Your name was attached to ticket number
085-12876077-09 with serial number 51390-0 that drew the lucky numbers 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 #2,800.809.00. (TWO
MILLION EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND, EIGHT HUNDRED AND NINE BRITISH POUNDS ONLY),
in cash credited to file with REF: NB:.EGS/3662367114/13. This is from a
total cash prize of #70,020.225.00, shared among the (25) twenty-five international
winners in this category.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Your fund is now deposited with our Security Company and insured in your
name. Due to mix up of some numbers and names, we ask that you keep this
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.
All participants were selected through a computer ballot system drawn 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. We hope your lucky name will
draw a bigger cash prize in the subsequent programs. To begin your lottery
claims, please contact your Claims Agent,
MR.BRIAN ANDREW,
FOREIGN OPERATION MANAGER,
SOCIETY SECURITY & FINANCE COMPANY UK,
EMAIL:brian_andre01@yahoo.com
Remember, all prize money must be claimed not later than 30th JULY 2005.
Any claim not made by this date will be returned to the DEPARTMENT OF THE
TREASURY. And also be informed that 10% of your lottery winning belongs
to (the PROMOTIONS COMPANY). Because they are the company that bought your
ticket and played the lottery in your name. Note also that this 10% will
be remitted after you have received your winnings prize, because the money
is insured in your name already.
NOTE: In order to avoid unnecessary delays and complications, please remember
to quote your reference and batch numbers in all
correspondences with us; or your Claim Agent. Furthermore, should there
be any change of address, please do inform your Claim Agent as soon as possible.
An original copy of your lucky winning ticket and your deposit certificate
will be sent to you by your Claim Agent, MR. BRIAN ANDREW
