Hello!
I sincerely beseech your pardon for my unsolicited encroachment into your privacy. There is no
doubt that my unsolicited contact will arose your scepticism because the Internet which has
transformed the world into a global village where genuine transaction should be taking place has
turned into a night mare due to the proliferation of Internet scam. Notable amongst these scam is
the "lottery scam" which is wide spread. The victims are mostly ignorant of the fact that you
cannot win a lottery prize without buying a lottery ticket or partaking personally in the lottery
draws.
Also, a genuine lottery company does not demand any fees from its winners before prizes are
released and even if the prize is to be couriered to the winner, it is done at the expense of the
lottery company and not the winner. Though some of such notifications claim that the victim`s email
was drawn while some claim that the victim has been awarded some amount that does not exist. At the
end, the victim will be made to pay some fictitious fees all in the name of redeeming a prize that
never existed in the first place. Most of these scams are perpetuated by using genuine and existing
lottery companies name and logos e.g "The UK National Lottery" in disguise to lure the victims into
parting with their hard earned money.
However, I am Mark Harris; a British citizen. I work as an Executive Officer with the National
Lottery Commission, "the official monitoring body of the UK National Lottery". My reason for
contacting you is to share a very confidential opportunity about an unclaimed prize money in my
company(National Lottery). The unclaimed prize money could be paid to you for our mutual benefit if
you are interested and willing to cooperate with me.
I shall furnish you with more details about this opportunity when you signify your interest to
cooperate with me.
Thank you for your time and God bless.,
Mark Harris.
