Subject: RE: Msword Lottery Delivery Status

Attention:

Donald Hardy is our accounts officer, he is the one in charge of our accounts and also will be the one coming down to your country with your winning check to help you cash your winnings to make sure there will be no hitches.

Try to understand that you have to take my word and put your trust on me, that once you are able to effect the payment, we shall duly dispatch your parcel for delivery. We do not operate deliveries on COD. You will have to effect the payment for the delivery of your parcel before we can dispatch your parcel for delivery. I swear to you that once you pay for the delivery of your parcel, you shall receive less than 24 hrs of you making the payment. I am a family man and I can’t lie to you.

Just take my word and give it a try and I assure you that you will not regret it. Its a life changing opportunity. Every sensible person would ask the same question you are asking. Please take note that you are NOT paying for the lottery you have won. Microsoft Word Lottery is absolutely FREE. However, let me explain some of the reasons why you are required to pay for the shipping of your winning cheque...

Firstly, There was an agreement between the Lottery House and the courier company as to who shall be responsible for the delivery of winners cheque before the license was issued by the British government. As a result, winners were meant to be responsible for the delivery charges of their respective parcels. And that is why we the courier firm is one of the Chief sponsor of the Microsoft Word Lottery.

Secondly, All Lottery winners are required to pay administrative/Tax charges to the British Inland Revenue Board before the courier company will be allowed to dispatch your cashier cheque and your winning certificate to you. So, if you want your winning cheque to be sent to you via the address you have provided, you must pay for these charges before the courier company will have a legal right to dispatch your duly won cashier cheque of 5.5 million pounds to you and these Tax charges have already been paid by the Microsoft Word Lottery.
I want to inform you that we are aware of this unholy act perpetrated by lottery imposters who make use of our name and Trade Mark to lure victims into their nest. But we have created links with the general public via internet web pages to be wary of these scammers not to fall victims. These and many more steps Microsoft® 2008 has adopted to enlighten the general public to curb this menace of internet fraud but if you suspect any of such, you are advised to report any suspecting mail you receive pretending to be us and we shall recommend the appropriate authorities in charge for actions immediately.

I want to authoritatively inform you that this is not one of those scams out there, for the fact that they have abused our program does not mean we will stop our responsibility to the general public who we are meant to serve. I will advise you to contact me your allotted verifying claims agent for more information as to how to have your legitimately won prize remitted to you. I have been mandated to act on behalf of this organization as an external special agent to give you directives and assist you to file your claims by following the due process to have your legitimately won prize remitted to you. This is the job I have been paid to do by this organization and you are advised to work respectfully with me by adhering to my instructions in order to complete the process of your prize remittance within the limited time approved.

The Microsoft Windows lottery has discovered a huge number of double claims due to winners informing close friends relatives and third parties about their winning and also sharing their pin numbers. As a result of this, these friends try to claim the lottery on behalf of the real winners. The Microsoft lottery has reached a decision from headquarters that any double claim discovered by the Lottery Board will result to the canceling of that particular winning, making a loss for both the double claimer and the real winner, as it is taken that the real winner was the informer to the double claimer about the lottery. So you are hereby strongly advised once more to keep your winnings strictly confidential until you claim your prize.
