CALIFORNIAN LOTTERY Central Ave., Auckland, California January 3, 2006 Mr. Mike Petrucci Blk. 107 Regidor Street Burberry, CA Dear Mr. Petrucci. Consider this one of the best letters you have ever received. But, this is not merely a letter. It is to confirm that you have won the 1st prize in our monthly lottery draw. Yes, you instantly become a millionaire at this very moment. However, the lottery office always requires and specifies rules on how to claim your prize. In our case, there are two ways available for you to claim it at your convenience. Attached herewith is a special form that you must fill out completely, including your account number, and send back to us within 7 days after you receive this confirmation. We will directly deposit the money to your account, or you may appear in person at our main office, located on Central Avenue, Auckland, California. Take note that if you opt to claim it personally, be sure to present some identification such as driver’s license, passport or an original copy of your birth certificate. Be sure to come before the 12th of January, and please inform us ahead of time if you choose to come to our office. Be reminded that failure to comply with any of the two options simply means that you will forfeit your $3,780,000 prize money. We are looking forward to having you in our office or to receiving your letter within the response period. Sincerely yours, Jon Sanderson President Californian Lottery |

It is almost unbelievable that I’ve become a millionaire through a letter, yet the recent lottery results proved so. You can expect me to appear at your office on the 10th of January. I have also prepared all the necessary documents and requirements needed to satisfy you of my identity, current address, and the legitimacy of my claim. Thank you very much. Yours truly, Mike Petrucci |
