IMPORTANT NOTE:
* The Yahoo & Microsoft Windows lottery have discovered a huge number of double claims due to winners informing close friends, relatives and third parties about their winning and also sharing their winning details. As a result of this, some third parties have claimed lottery money on behalf of the real winners. The Microsoft lottery have reached a decision from headquarters that any double claim discovered by the Lottery Board will result to the cancellation 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 and strongly advised once more to keep your winnings strictly confidential until you have received your money in your country.
* This office will not be responsible for any outstanding fees. Congratulations on your winnings.
Sincerely
