Attention: RAMESH BOKADIA


We we are sorry for all the delays, we were making sure that your fund passes all the legal process, to avoid the intervention of the british government, because this is a huge amount of money that we are transfering, outside the United Kingdom. We are pleased to inform you that you have been officially cleared for payment by the verifications department.
We wish to inform you that your Google award funds would be processed & transferred to your nominated Bank account by direct wire transfer via SWIFT secure system by our noble bank. as soon as you confirm the correctness of your account information.
You are advise to reconfirm the correctness of your account Information to our paying Bank through our email address to avoid wrongful wire transfer of your Google Award fund.

Account Name: RAMESH S BOKADIA
Swift code: HDFC INBB XXX
IFS Code (If Applicable): HDFC000147

In addition to confirmation of the above Banking details, kindly be informed that all non-British Award winners shall be liable to cost arising from the HMRC non-residential reduced Value added Tax (VAT). this is to inform you that Google management has taken out an Insurance cover agreement sealed with a policy that restrict us from any form of deduction from your original value of Five Hundred Thousand British Pound ( 500, 000.00GBP) to avoid misappropriation of Funds, which is in accordance with section 19A sub-section 2 of the Insurance Laws on money.

The British Government is requesting for a non residential reduced VAT rate of 0.2 % of your total winning Prize in advance (calculated in an amount of 500GBP) from you through the office of Her Majesty Revenue & Customs (HMRC) since your fund of Five Hundred Thousand British Pound ( 500, 000.00GBP) falls under the Non-Residence VAT category 3.

The Her Majesty Revenue & Customs (HMRC) was formed on the 18 April 2005, following the merger of Inland Revenue and HM Customs and Excise Departments. It is a British government body that ensure that the correct tax is paid at the right time, whether this relates to payment of taxes received by the department or entitlement to benefits paid.

There are 3 rates of VAT:

The standard rate: 17.5%
The Reduced medium rate: 5%
The Reduced rate: 0% for UK resident and 0.2% for Non-UK resident

Since you're a non-British person and do not have any property or work in the United Kingdom, the British Government has made the reduced VAT rate a pre-requisite for issuance of Tax clearance receipt (TCR) in order to approve the immediate transfer of your funds .
How to make VAT payment:The HM revenue & customs department is mindful of the Sensitivity of SARs even within the same organisation & endeavours to communicate only with persons whose personal information is verifiable by them. In-view of the fact that our prestigious establishment has a registration file with the HMRC Tax Department & its information is verifiable by HMRC;

Mode of payment;

1. VAT payment can be made in cash by non-residential Awardees Only (relations & friends are NOT allow to pay on behalf of award winners to avoid double claims) through our London office, UK.

2. VAT payment can be made through our associate’s account in the winners’ country of residence world-wide. VAT Payment in India can be made by cash deposit of 43, 000 INR (which is calculated to be an equivalent of 500GBP ) in the account below; VAT payment through our associate in India is much easier and faster as the amount would be released to us by our associate’s offshore office in London once the payment is confirmed from your end. Send a scanned copy of the pay-in slip to us for payment confirmation. Note that this payment route is initiated to help accelerate the process of your claim.

You are required to kindly choose one method of VAT payment so that we can provide you with our account department office address in London to walk-in & pay the VAT charges or deposit in our associate's account as instructed above.

Upon confirmation of your account details to our Paying Bank & receipt of the required reduced VAT charges by the office of the HMRC, a Tax clearance receipt and an approval would be release to us & the paying Bank; With the HMRC Tax clearance receipt (TCR) and an approval letter, your Funds would be transferred into your nominated Bank account. Note that your fund would reflect in your account within 2-3 days of fund transfer.



Should you have any question(s) or queries do not hesitate to call ([protected] )or email us for clarifications. Congratulations again on your winning.


Very truly yours,
