RE: PRIZE/AWARD NOTIFICATION.
This is to inform you of the release of PACIFIC
PROMOTIONS ORGANIZATION PRIZE DRAW, held on the 5th of April 2004, but
owing to some mix up of numbers and addresses and the holidays, the results
were released on the 21st of December 2004.Your name was attached to ticket
number 065-12855077-09 with serial number 77390-0 that drew the lucky
numbers of 05-05-17-18-28-38, which consequently won the lottery in the
5th category. You have therefore been approved for a lump sum pay of
3.700,000.00. (THREE MILLION AND SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATE
DOLLARS ONLY), in cash credited to file with REF:N.ZES/3662367114/18. This is
from a total cash prize of 81,020.337.00, shared among the twenty-five
international winners in this category.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Your fund is now deposited with our Financial Company Bangkok Thailand
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

2005. Any claim not made by this date will be returned to HER MAJESTY'S
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, Furthermore, should there be any change of
