Fund release.

Transfer options for the immediate transfer of your winnings of the sum of £891, 934.00 pounds sterling with transfer identification code: elpc/mwt/0143

Attention: md. Ishtiaque. Alam,

You are welcome to allied irish bank (Gb) an affiliate of the irish national lottery. We are pleased to be at your service. Allied irish bank (Gb) is regulated and stipulated by the financial service authority (Fsa)., the financial institutions that govern all financial activities in the united kingdom.

We welcome you to the lottery winners funds transfer unit of the irish national lottery here in the allied irish bank (Gb), united kingdom. This is to officially inform you that we have also received your approved winning file in this office and have seen your registered full winning information that shows you are one of the legally approved winners of the irish national lottery on line promotions that has been cleared for payment. Your winnings payment and all the legal documents backing your winnings have been processed and has been finally approved for release to you.

The mode of the payout of your winnings stipulated by the irish national lottery is online wire transfer and the alternative courier transfer option. The reason for the online wire transfer is that your check was deposited in a suspense account for security reason, besides winners outside uk always find it difficult to cash the check easily hence our bank is not everywhere in the world. But if you wish to cash your check yourself, your winning check and all the necessary documents guilding your winning funds will be deliver to your home of residence.

In line with the transfer of your winnings to you, according to the irish national lottery terms and conditions for winnings claims, you are now required to follow the transfer associated conditions which are listed below which means the way you desire to receive your winnings that is in our custody.

Below are the two options with their associated conditions.

Account opening and on-line swift transfer option:

In this option you will be given the proper guidelines on how you will directly and personally transfer your winning funds in liquid cash into any bank account you nominate through the allied irish bank (Gb) e-banking services.

But for this to be done, first your winning cheque in our custody have to be converted into liquid cash in the uk cheque clearing house because we allied irish bank (Gb) are allowed by the uk banking laws and policies to proceed with the swift transfer process of the winnings to you while the funds is still in cheque form.

And due to the fact that your winning cheque was issued in your name by the irish national lottery, which makes it legally impossible for any ordinary third party or entity to cash your cheque on your behalf in the uk cheque clearing house, you will then have to open and activate an account with this bank with an opening balance/initial deposit of £610 pounds sterling's before we can officially and legally possess the legal right as your bank to cash your winning cheque on your behalf in the uk cheque clearing house (Ukcch).

This is in regulation to the uk banking laws and polices laid down by the bank of england and the fsa (Financial services authority) which clearly states that for any uk registered bank to have the legal right to cash a certified bank cheque on behalf of the bearer (Owner of cheque or payee), the owner of the cheque must have an activated account with the bank that will present the cheque for liquidation in the uk cheque clearing house (Ukcch).

Alternative option (2) "courier check transfer option":

In this option, your certified winning cheque along with the legal documents backing your winnings will be delivered to your address that you will provide within 72 hours, we will have to use international licensed dhl courier company to deliver your winnings parcel to your address. Note that in this option, your winning parcel can not be delivered to p. O. Box addresses or street corners but to your residence because the dhl delivery officers in charge of the delivery must have to sight your personal valid identification and other required documentations to confirm your legal identity before they will hand over your winning package to you in person.

Below are the mandatory charges associated with the courier check transfer option via dhl that you are required to pay if you prefer this courier check transfer option.

Dhl uk home
Post fee_40 pounds sterling
Vat_250 pounds sterling
Insurance_220 pounds sterling
Total_ 510 pounds sterling

Please do clearly note that your winnings has been insured to the full real value and is protected by a hard cover insurance policy which makes it impossible to deduct any amount from your winning funds before it has been remitted to you. This is in accordance with section 13 (1) (N) of the national gambling act as adopted in 1993 and amended on 3rd july 1996 by the constitutional assembly. This law was put in place by the lottery governing board to protect winners from the misappropriation of their winnings funds before it is been remitted to them.

To avoid any delay in your funds transfer process due to the limited time stipulated by the irish national lottery for the claiming of winnings, all that is needed from you now is to clearly state your perfected options.
