Dear Winner,
We have sent repeated messages to you, but all to no avail. Did you receive our last e-mail?
You are required to send us an update in regards to the transfer of your funds to your designation or/if you prefer to come directly to our London office to claim your winnings of One Million Euros.
In essence, if you decline to claim your winning as stipulated by the organizers of Zürich Lotterien, you will be required to send us a Letter of Disclaimer of Funds, stating that you cease to be a beneficiary of the stated prize Funds.
You are also required to state that you will lay no claim whatsoever on the stated prize Funds, relinquishing your winning and empowering us with the right to return the winning to the organizers of Zürich Lotterien.
Kindly inform us of your decision.
Yours faithfully,
Mr. Stevens Herbert
