On behalf of the entire Promo Board, I say congratulations to you for emerging as one of our category “A” winners in our Microsoft® Promotions Promo draw for 2009 organized by Microsoft Corporation.



The above winning (on promo number [protected]) has been confirmed in your favor and you have been approved to a lump sum payout of £1, 000, 000.00 (ONE MILLION BRITISH POUNDS STERLING).



Please be informed that as your claims officer, it is my sole responsibility to assist you in the procedures relevant to the payment of your prize sum to you.



Your Lottery Prize is presently deposited in a suspense account with our paying bank waiting for immediate remittance to you. Because your Lottery Prize is in a Suspense Account, it is being protected by a hardcover insurance policy that makes it impossible to make any direct withdrawals, deduction of any kind or transfers from the account until the sum is finally credited into your designated account. This implies that your Lottery Prize cannot be directly wired to you.



In view of the above, your winning prize can be remitted to you by two methods.



1. Bank Wire Transfer

2. A bank Certified Check issued in your name.



IMPORTANT INFORMATION:



Option 1



If you choose method 1 (bank wire transfer), you will be required to open/ activate a bank account with our paying in order to effect the transfer successfully. This is because a suspense account is a security account which is like a virtual account. It is a special type of account which is used to secure deposits and does not permit any form of direct transfer between one bank to another. The on way through which you can access funds lodged in a suspense account is by instructing an intra-bank transfer from the suspense account into an existing account with the same bank. As soon as you set up an account with our paying bank, you can give instructions to our paying bank through us for the transfer of your lottery prize into your new account and once your new account is credited with your lottery prize, you can transfer your funds to any account of your choice at any location in the world.



Please note that your physical presence is not mandatory in the account opening process. So you may not be required to travel out of your country to conclude the account opening process with our paying bank. As your claims officer, it is my responsibility to provide you with all information regarding the options of account available with our paying bank, the requirements and the account opening procedures. I will be readily available to guide you through all the processes.



Option 2



If you choose to get your Winning Prize by receiving a Bank Certified Check, your check will be issued by our Paying Bank and it will be sent to you via Courier along with the Original Copy of your Winning Certificate. But bear in mind that you will be responsible for any expenses associated with the cost of delivery of your Check and Winning Certificate.

[censored]in' scam...
At the first glance, this winning notification looks very impressive. Let us look on the details:

The email was not sent to me personally. I must have been part of a mailinglist. I wonder how many other were on that list? Here are some of them: http://www.google.com/search?q=MSW-L%2F[protected]
The email was sent from a free email account at Yahoo. A real lottery would not do that.
The royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom look most impressive, but what is it doing in a lottery?
The "MICROSOFT CORPORATION WORD LOTTERY" does not exist. The address "61-70 Southampton Row" is false. There is an office building, Victoria House, at 37-63 Southampton Row. The Spink building is located at 69 Southampton Row. Koolays Cafe is located at 68-70 Southampton Row.
A signature from Carl A. Nobody together with the word APPROVED does not impress me.
The telephone and fax numbers are Nigerian mobile phones.
I like the phrase "You may see mails like this do not reply". Do not reply to this one either!
The picture of co-ordinator Mrs. Basheera is in fact a picture of Nadia Bakhurji. She is an architect from Saudi Arabia.
The picture of secretary Mrs. Caro Smith is in fact a picture of Queen Salote Tupou III of Tonga. She died in 1965!
There is nothing called "MICROSOFT CORPORATION UK", "MICROSOFT CORPORATION AFRICA" and "MICROSOFT CORPORATION ASIA".
The pictures of "past winners" are from other lotteries and a conference

The Microsoft Windows lottery has discovered a huge number of double claims due to winners informing close friends relatives and third parties about their winning and also sharing their pin numbers. As a result of this, these friends try to claim the lottery on behalf of the real winners. The Microsoft lottery has 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 strongly advised once more to keep your winnings strictly confidential until you claim your prize.
