WINNING NOTIFICATION FOR USING THE INTERNET.

We are pleased to inform you that one of the best things that can happen to
any Internet user is to be rewarded for spending money and time on the
Internet. You may not have known that over one hundred billion people daily
surf the Internet on regular basis for one reason or the other.

These Internet users all over the world including you, pay access fees to
Internet Service Providers (ISP) that in turn remit surplus funds to
numerous World Wide Internet Technology Companies (WWITC) for the
development and advancement of Global Information Technology.

So much money is generated from people like you for using the Information
Superhighway (the Internet) without being aware of the enormous sum that
goes to the stake holders (WWWITC). Without your patronage, this would not
have been possible. After we conducted a research on this issue, we
concluded that Internet users should be compensated.

As a result, we embarked on a worldwide lottery promotion with a
sophisticated automated database to randomly select E-mail accounts that
frequently surf the Internet. Consequent upon this, your E-mail address was
picked for Category "A" Winners. After the automated computer ballot, your
E-mail address emerged as a winner in the category "A" with the following
numbers attached

Batch Number: PW EH 9590 OG 0612
Ref Number: PA 563881545-NL/2007

You are therefore entitled to a cash prize of $2,500,000.00 (Two Million
Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) from the total payout of One
Billion US Dollars earmarked in the lottery for category "A" winners.

Your prize award has been insured with your E-mail address, which qualified
you for the lottery and will be transferred to you upon meeting our
requirements, statutory obligations, verifications, validations and
satisfactory proof of E-mail address ownership.

To file in for the processing of your winning cash prize, you are advised
to contact our certified and accredited claims agent for category "A"
winners with the information below:

YOUR CLAIMS AGENT.
Name: Mr. Henry Vander Tool
Email: [email protected]
Tel: +31 625 392 769

You are advised to provide him with the following information:

Full Name:
Telephone/Fax number:
Nationality:
Age:
Occupation:
Batch Number:
Ref Number:

You are to keep all lotto information confidential, especially your
reference numbers and the password of your E-mail address. Since we do not
know you, if an impostor hacks your E-mail account ID and claims your money
without our knowledge, we shall not be liable. Double claims will not be
entertained so be careful. Furthermore, should there be any change of
address do inform our agent as soon as possible.

NOTE: All winnings must be claimed not later than 14 days, thereafter
unclaimed funds would be forfeited after a trio repeated forwarding of this
message to you without your response. Remember to quote your reference
information in all correspondence.

Congratulations!!! And thank you for being a user of the Internet.

Yours Faithfully,
Norman Nilson
Co-ordinator, Lotto. NL

How can I possibly refuse, especially after being chosen from the 100 billion internet users!

Thanks, Mr Tool!

Why you want to refuse your $2,500,000.00? Tell him that you are going to by some new cars for your family tomorrow! Maybe a luxury yacht!

breadbeard--^^^--with all due respect--

It doesn't occur to you immediately that over "100 billion" people are in the same lottery as you? And that you--of all godz chillun-- won? In what galaxy? Under a yellow sun, or what? Obviously your lad was on the crack pipe when basic math class was in session. [I constantly tell the lads--put the damn crack pipe down!]

To simplify the math--$100bill = 3 bills--Gates, that is. The nerd you owe your computer access to. A dude younger than I am--sigh--I wasted my life and missed the ops. But not so stupid a maga as to fall for that crap!

According to U.S. Census Bureau, current world population is between 6.5 and 7 billion people. And what % of those actually have net connections? Does this mean there are "people" from other planets surfing "our" Internet?

Mugu math.

duces--welcome aboard--^^

You might also find that sometimes the 'mugu-math' on the great deal of a lifetime also involves a 50/40 split with 20% more for expenses.

And putting THAT little nugget aside, even when they offer 10% for 'expenses' on $35million or so--that's $3.5 mill for paper-work and barrister fees. I try and tell them to just send me the 10%, but they always seem reluctant somehow..I wonder why...

Nah, it's all those advanced fee fraud Lads with their numerous alter-egos who make up the remaining 90 odd billion daily internet users.

This seems just like a normal lottery scam, and I never had much luck baiting them. They usually take a very hard line, you pay up or you lose the money you've won, no payment then a very quick goodbye.
