The Microsoft Internet E-mail lottery Awards is sponsored by our CEO/Chairman, Bill Gates and a consortium of software promotion companies. The Intel Group, Toshiba, Dell Computers and other International Companies. The Microsoft internet E-mail draw is held periodically and is organized to encourage the use of the Internet and promote computer literacy worldwide. The Microsoft Window 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. {{Pin numbers should never be shared...you should know better than that!}}
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 Canceling 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. {{Incidentally, this will also prohibit us from telling the POLICE about your ILLICIT practices and SPAM}}
Once again on behalf of all our staff,

Date: 2010-08-25 06:02 pm (UTC)Je zou overigens bijna zeggen dat ze daar in Redmond geen geld hebben om iemand te vinden voor wie het engels de eerste voertaal is.
Prachtig overigens die ingebouwde uitweg waardoor ze nooit hoeven uit te keren. "Oh u heeft gewonnen? Dank u voor uw persoonlijke gegevens, maar helaas heeft er nog iemand dat lotnummer ingediend en is er dus sprake van een dubbele claim."
Ze hebben die miljoen email adressen dus in een grote bak/pool gegooid en daar hun Computerized Email Selection System (C.E.S.S.) overheen gehaald. Ze zijn in ieder geval wel eerlijk. Cesspool.
Hij is in ieder geval origineler dan de gebruikelijke "Ik heb hier 250 miljoen dollar waar ik niet bij kan maar met uw hulp...."
