Attention: Firstname Lastname

Dear Sir,

This is to inform you that we have verified your claims with Lottobets
International Lotteries to ascertain the authenticity and the genuineness of
your winnings. I therefore wish to congratulate you on the successful
confirmation of your winnings. Our main objective is to provide guidance until
you receive your prize winnings. In this regard your unalloyed co-operation
will be appreciated.

Following the confirmation and approval of your winnings your prize winning
certificate has been issued. It is a very important document in this
transaction, as you must be paid your winning prize by Lottobets International
Lotteries once it is issued. It is also a legal instrument as it can be
tendered in a court of competent jurisdiction as an important exhibit if you
are not paid by the Lottery Firm. Lottobets International Lotteries also risks
sanction by the European Gaming Board of Control if after the issuance of the
certificate you are not paid.

Also issued is the draft for your winning. We should collect it on your behalf
by the close of work today.

The following options have been outline for the payment of your prize winnings.
You are expected to choose the one that is affordable by you. I have given a
breakdown of all the options and you will be expected to choose one that is
most suitable to you.  Before then I want you to know that C.O.D is not
available for hand delivered packages. We do not use the regular courier
services. We have a retainership  agreement with a delivery firm that hand
delivers all our  packages.

There are four categories available please choose the one that is affordable by
you and transfer information will be sent to you.
Category A: First Class Delivery === Within 24 hours=== 1,350 Euros
Category B: Economy delivery === Within 24 hours===     1,050 Euros
Category C: Third Class Delivery === Within 3 days====    850 Euros
Category D: Manual Delivery ===== Within 5  days====      295 Euros

The second option is payment through a designated online bank. Bank transfer
through wire or telegraphic transfer (TT) wire transfer attracts charges of
0.003% of the total sum, which is US$1649.37. You also be expected to pay these
charges prior to making the online transfer of your prize winnings. The quoted
amount is what it would cost you to have the draft (check) discounted and you
will be expected to pay this sum before the draft is discounted and sent to you
via online wire transfer.

The last option is personal appearance at our head office to collect your prize
winnings. In this option also you will pay administrative charges of about
US$5000 to collect your winnings.

The total amount that you have won is 549,790.00 (Five Hundred and Forty Nine
Thousand Euros). This is the amount that you will receive as no deductions are
allowed. If it is by direct deposit, that is, wire transfer it will take about
48 hours to reflect in your account.

Deductions are not to be made from your winnings. You have to bear the entire
cost involved prior to receiving your prize winnings.
Please in your next email choose the category affordable by you and I would send
you transfer information.

I have attached here your prize-winning certificate. The original copy will be
sent to you after the payment of your winnings.

Thanks for your quick response and co-operation.

Manuel Fernandez.
CLIENT SERVICE MANAGER,
EPSILON SECURITY AND FREIGHT
