RE: AWARD NOTIFICATION.
Attn:Gutierrez,
This is to inform you of the release of THE POST LOTTERY INTERNATIONAL
PROMOTIONS PRIZE DRAW, held on the 20th of NOVEMBER 2005, but owing to some
mix up of numbers and addresses and the holidays, the results were released
on the 20th JANUARY, 2006.
Your name was attached to ticket number 085-12876077-09 with serial number
51390-0 that drew the lucky numbers of 03-05-12-14-28-38, which consequently
won the lottery in the 5th category. You have therefore been approved for a
lump sum pay of €1,800,000.00. (ONE MILLION EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND
EUROS ONLY), in cash credited to file with REF: º.EGS/3662367114/13. This is
from a total cash prize of €70,020.225.00, shared among the (25)
twenty-five international winners in this category.
CONGRATULATIONS!!! Your fund is now deposited with our Security Company and
insured in your name. Due to mix up of some numbers and names, we ask that
you keep this award from public notice until your claim has been processed,
and the money remitted to your account, as this is part of our security
protocol, to avoid double claiming and unwarranted taking of advantage of
this program by participants, as has happened in the past. All participants
were selected
through a computer ballot system drawn from 25,000 names, email addresses &
official addresses, from Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, North and
South America, Middle East and Africa, as part of our International
Promotions Program. We hope your lucky name will draw a bigger cash prize in
the subsequent programs. To begin your lottery claims, please contact.
