This current strategy is in line with the new HM and Customs regulations propagated to control Monetary Circulation in and out of the UK.This bill recently passed by the two Houses requires winners Non-UK Resident/UK Resident to authenticate their winning cheque before it leaves for delivery.

We therefore state that your winning parcel is intact and safely packaged in the HM and Customs office.

You are advised to contact the BRITISH INLAND REVENUE BOARD as soon as possible with the Information given below so they can release your winning parcel to enable us facilitate immediate delivery.

    This was my response but be rest assured that i never sent anything. One day i received 8 emails with lottery winnings and amounts ranging from 850,000.00 to $2,00,000.00. Just imagine the luck of the Irish.



    Dear Mr Harrison Blair and James Walker,
    I am surprised that the inland revenue service has a yahoo email account. I have also sent a bank draft for the 0.5% of the lotery winnings and awaiting my insured package. Please send mt the insurance policy details and the contact name and phone number.

    Thank You
