CONGRATULATIONS Fishlich,
Good day and how are you doing hope fine.Well i got your email sent to me but at this moment i want to let you know that i have seen your information sent to my office and i tried to call you up on phone but it went unsuccessful.I called at 2.00pm in the middle of the day at london time but your phone was on answering machine.I couldnt connect directly to you because it said the subscriber cant recieve calls at the time i called.So there fore i will try to call again tommorow.
However, your winning prize will be transfered to your bank account in no time soon.All i want you to know is that you are wasting time by asking me too many question than acting fast by filling the form and i will send you your certificate of winnings.That certificate is your license to your winning claims and please keep it well immediately when you recieve it.
Moreover,about the question of me sending you a Cheque for your winnings cant be possible at all because your winnings is to be LEGALLY sent to you through ONLINE BANK WIRE TRANSFER to your bank account.
Morealso,your winning claims will be sent to you no doubt just have a little patience and follow procedures as soon as possible your winnings will be sent to you within 3 or 4 workings days.
Finally,have a nice day and Remain a winner of the United Kingdom Lottery .
Thanks
Barr.Peter Burton
