WINNING NOTIFICATION!!
We happily announce to you the draws of the boxlotto Promotional Lottery
Program sponsored by European Lotteries and held in The United Kingdom on the
4th December, 2006 in which you and fourteen (14) provisional winners were
selected as winners under draw No. 2245.
Due to mix up in some numbers and
names the results of the draw were withheld and released today. For the
purpose of security you are therefore
strongly advised to keep this award notification secret from public
notice until your claim has been processed and your prize money paid as this is
part of our security protocol to avoid duplicity of claims or misuse of this
programme by miscreants and hackers. Thus, your prize award winning is
confidential as our winners are at liberty to remain completely anonymous until

draw system and from 150,000 individuals as part of our international promotions
program conducted annually to encourage prospective overseas entries.

$385,000.00 (Three Hundred and Eighty Five Thousand Dollars only)as your winning
prize.
This is from a total prize pool of 3,998, 742.67 Dollars.
