Subject: Re: SEND THE FORM BACK
Dear Madras House ,
It is indeed of great interest to you that you have responded. This is because the lottery organisation - www.aalotto.com is embarking on a scrutiny which invalidate all unclaimed funds.
So it is of your own interest that you print and resend the Claim Form so that the necessary measures could be taken by the statutory offices here in South Africa and London - United Kingdom prior to the final authentication of your prize.
This zonal office or management would not contact you telephonically unless upon the final validation and approval of your prize. This is the only legal proceedures, which must be followed. The lottery company will not pay you after the deadline of this programm and your file will be disqualify.
For further information, feel free to contact:
