Subject: RE:PLEASE TREAT AS URGENT
DEAR SIR,
"Enough is Enough" we the United Nations Debts Reconcilliation Committee London have
discovered with dismay various outstanding lotto winning award,inheritance
claim,compensation fund, next of kin claim and foreign contract debts respectively which
your name have been payrolled and scheduled for partpayment of $1.5million for this First
quarter of the financial year 2009.
Therefore because of the Nefarious Activities of the so called Internet Hackers it will be
highly impossible to pay out your Lotto Claim by Bank Wire Transfer hence we have generally
agreed to pay your lotto winning award through ATM CARD and since we are duly
Inter-Switched you will be allowed to make maximum withdrawal of $10,000 on daily basis in
any ATM CARD center nearest to you any where in the world.
Thus,you are kindly advised to forward to us your preffered office or home delivery
address, your complete Name and your Telepnone Number so that the original copy of the ATM
CARD can be delivered to your designated address by DHL Courier Services.
I look forward to your urgent response.
Yours Faithfully
Mr Peter Martins
Chairman United Nations Debts Reconcilliation Committee London.
