RE: PRIZE/AWARD NOTIFICATION.
This is to inform you of the release of INTERNATIONAL LOTTERY RESULT PROMOTIONS ORGANIZATION PRIZE DRAW, held on the 8th of September 2004, but owing to some mix up of numbers and addresses and the holidays, the results were released on the 2nd of January 2005.
Your email address 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 3.000,000.00. (THREE MILLION UNITED STATE DOLLARS ONLY), in cash credited to file with REF: N.EGS/3662367114/13.This is from a total cash prize of 90,020.225.00,shared among the twenty-five international winners in this category.
