___________________________________________________________
Attention,
This is confirming receipt of your correspondence and assuring you that shall be treated with the best possible service within the abilities of this office.
We wish to congratulate you on the award of $2,500,000.00 (Two Million, Five Hundred Thousand Dollars) in our just concluded International Prize Award Promotions. The said sum is now deposited in a suspense account in your favor pending remittance to the beneficiary.
The primary objective of this lottery is to reward users of the internet and your email address was among a list of over 200,000 email profiles generated from an internet resource database of regular online users. After the recently concluded draws using a computer balloting system, your email address emerged as the winner in the Category A, and the beneficiary is to be awarded a cash prize of 2,500,000.00 (Two Million, Five Hundred Thousand Dollars)
This is an independent promotion and is unconnected to any Illicit or undocumented publication. Take note that no tickets were sold preceding the draws and it is carried out on a purely promotional basis.
Your winning prize has a hardcover insurance policy that makes it impossible to make any deduction of any kind, until the sum is finally credited into your designated account.
In line with the governing procedures for claim, a vetting process is to be carried out by the Gaming Board. You are expected to fill the attached form below and return, along with a copy of your valid identification document which can be a copy of your passport or driver's license. This is a standard practice just to ensure that we are dealing with the rightful owner of the winning email address.
After the vetting exercise, the Gaming Board will nominate a bank here in Netherlands that will be in charge of the lottery payout. Non-residents of the Netherlands will be required to set up an account with the paying bank; this will enable a successful bank to bank transfer of your winning cash prize.
This process is vital and urgent, and all prize money should be claimed on or before 14 days, thereafter unclaimed funds would be included in the next stake. You are to keep all your winning information confidential, especially your reference numbers. This is important as a case of double claims will not be entertained.
Once again accept our congratulations and if you require any further assistance in filling your claims form, do not hesitate to call my office.
Regards,
Frank van Boss
