Dear Ms. Mirable Austin,
We have been waiting to hear from you but all to no avail and time is running out.
Please if you know that you will not make the claims of this winning, do let us know so that we can demand a letter of "POWER OF ATTORNEY" from you than the government to confiscate this funds and have it by themselves.
I wonder why you are afraid to claim what belongs to you. We would like to hear from you as soon as you receive this mail to tell us your mind for this claims.
Thanks and best regards,
For: Elgordo La Primitiva Lottery Commission,
Zaragoza, Spain,
Mr. Torres (Manager)
