Subject: UNCLAIMED LOTTO UK WINNERS.
Attn : Sir/Madam ,
This is a confidential mail from Mrs Owen Gladys the coordinator of the UK
sponsored national lotteries for African divisions
Please I am writing this mail to you with the trust, confidence and the
believe that you will not betray the trust I bestowed on you. I will also be
giving you our official web site or the official web site for your
verifications and confirmation on the authenticity of this my proposal.
This is because I am the National coordinator of the UK National lotto for
African regions and I have now redirected about three unclaimed winnings to
an account in South Africa so I am only seeking your consent so that your
name can be used for the claims which is more than USD $ 1.3 Million Dollars
.
The winning information that has not been claimed are :
Draw 940 of 24/12/2004 with numbers 15 , 19, 24 , 36, 37, 49, and 35 as
bonus .
One jackpot winner has been come forward for claims while I have redirected
2 winnings from the Match 5 Plus Bonus which is about # 228 547 Pounds each.
The other is Draw 938 of 18/12/2004 with numbers 05,16,22,25,27,30, and
bonus 33 , I have also
redirected one of the amount of the jackpot winners to another account here
which is about # 1,117,972 Million pounds and also three people in the match
5 plus bonus category has not come forward for claims and each is # 85,997
pound , so I am seeking your consent so that we shall obtain the approval
for the fund transfer through any of the offshore offices, or directly from
Africa since I cannot be able to stand for the claim because of my positions
.
Please note that I am giving you our official contact details and web site
as a sign of trust and confidence hoping that you will not try to expose me
or betray the trust I have banked on you .
Please if you are not interested just delete this mail and don’t respond to
it at all .
As soon as I receive your positive response I will explain the modalities
and procedures on the way to
effect the transfer successfully , don’t try to call or contact me as my
lines may be tapped but kindly
contact the African agent who is assisting me .
Please note that any inquiries with respect to this will jeopardize my
career and my future and that of family ( my husband) who is not aware of
this .
You shall discuss on the percentage of sharing with the African counterpart
, although I have resolved with him to give you a 30% of the total sum while
10% should be used for expenses and I will share the remaining equal with
him
I only need your positive response now , thanks and God bless .
