Congratulations!!!
We the members of staff of the International Lottery, affiliate of
International Lottery in Liechtenstein Foundation, formally
congratulate you as one of the lucky winners in this year Lottery
International. However you are advised to keep your winning
information confidential until your claim application is duly
processed and your winnings remitted to your nominated Bank Account.
You may be required to come to Amsterdam, the Netherlands to process
your claims. Please note that an attorney has been appointed on your
behalf to assist you in the processing of your claims. You are
however, advised to contact her as soon as possible to enable the
early dispensation of your process.
Her name is Kristen Van Bell and her email address is

In the constitution of our company, we are not allowed to deduct or
remove any amount of money from the prizes won by our clients - either
for charges, taxes or other expenses which are needed for the
processing and transfer of our client's funds into their nominated
bank accounts. This is because of the hard cover insurance policy that
came with it and also for the safety of our client's funds.
Your verification has been concluded and it is in order. As soon as
your appointed lawyer duly completes your claiming process, your funds
will be transferred into your nominated bank account promptly.
Note: Claiming of your funds must be completed before the deadline;
further delay might attract additional expenses in the processing of
your claims, or if you are unwilling to go further with the claims,
please endeavor to notify this office, for us to have a proper
documentation regarding your refusal. This is needed to enable us put
our records straight for our Auditors and Board of Directors.
Once again Congratulations!!!
Best regards,
Vanessa Kleef
