Obviously this is good news for me as it will help me offset the taxes that I owed less than two weeks ago.  Money, here I come. 

So this is what I’ve written to them back from a brand new email address that has never received or had an email sent from other than this one.

Good Afternoon Dr. Pinkett Griffin,

I hope this email finds you well, as I can assure you that I am completely happy and delighted to have received word of my UK Lottery winnings.  While I must say that 25,000 Pounds is merely a drop in the bucket, it’s still none the less good fortune for the lucky, such as I.  You see, I amassed a fortune in the faucet strainer boom post war due to the wonderful boom of suburbs rising around this fine country of mine.

Your initial email lacked the mentioned form, but I have taken the liberty of disclosing the information that was asked. 

Name: Albert Jones
Address: 303 E 51st Street, New York, NY 10022
Sex: Male
Country: United States of America

I certainly hope that our future correspondence and all of the paperwork for my collection of said 25,000 Pounds gets a second glance over before it gets sent out for my official signing and attention.  I am a very busy man and as such do not have the time nor the patience for documents not in full.

Also, due to my busy schedule involving a last minute trip to South Wales, I must have you deal with my personal assistant Franklin.  I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and assure you that Franklin is most trusted and that he will be of most help in resolving this matter on my behalf since he holds my Power of Attorney. 

I look forward to the check!

Warmest Regards,
Albert Jones
