Subject: Re: STEPS OF GETTING YOUR WON PRIZE MONEY TRANSFERRED TO YOUR ACCOUNT.

Like we spoke on phone, you have to follow the due process in getting

your won prize money transferred to your account in ICICI Bank Ltd, U-1, Crown Commercial Complex Opp. Rajiv Gandhi Bhavan (NMC), Utility Centre,Sharanpur Road, Nashik India.

Here are the steps in getting you won prize transferred:

Step One: We had acknowledged your winning notification reply email

and your details attached to it. We have also sent all your details to

the paying bank and they are ready to make the transfer but they are

demanding your Winning certificate that is dully notarized and Stamped

at the Federal High Court. That takes us to Step Two

Step Two: Since you cannot come down here yourself to get the winning

certificate at the appropriate quarters, it is the responsibility of

you the Winner to offset the cost of getting and sending it to you from

the federal High court. It is only this winning certificate that is the

guarantee assuring the paying bank that you are the winner of the

US$1,500,000.00. The paying bank cannot make the transfer unless you

provide the certificate to them.

Step Three: After you must have made the payment of US$1850 to our

office to get the winning certificate for you since you cannot come

down here to get it. We shall immediately use the money US$1850 which

you are paying to get it for you, on or before 24 hours.

Step Four: On getting the winning certificate from the federal high

court, we shall immediately scan and send a copy each to you and the

paying bank. The paying bank in return will request the winning

certificate from you. If you are able to present it to them, they will

crosscheck it with the one I earlier sent along with the copy at the

probate division of the Federal High Court. If all the copies are the

same and genuine, they will immediately make the transfer to your

account in Nashik India.

Finally, here is the information you will use to make the payment of

US$1850, through the below account of our regional and financial officer:

ACCOUNT NAME:CHINNEINIANG CHINNEINIANG.
ACCOUNT NUMBER: 30242142924.
BANK NAME: STATE BANK OF INDIA, (S.B.I).

Once you make the payment, you have to send to us a scanned copy of the

payment slip.

Once more we congratulate you and urge you to make the judicious use of

the prize money once it is transferred 24 hours immediately you made

the payment of the winning certificate which is the only legal

documents to enforce and mandate the paying bank to make the transfer.

You have to bear in mind that this is a legal transfer and has to be

treated as such. You have to keep this transfer confidential to avoid

double claiming.

Barrister Ahmad.
