STOP OF LOTTO PRIZE TRANSFER BY THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT

The HM Revenue & Customs is authorized and regulated by the Financial Services Authority. The Taxation and Custom Department of the HMRC assesses certain types of taxes. Be informed that taxes are levied on funds from raffles, grants etc almost everywhere, normally by the payment authority on behalf of the Government. In some cases, we receive a share of grant donations taxes levied by the Government. However, in most cases, the tax takes the form of a permit fee. It is only classified as a tax in a few Governments/Countries. Any type of income tax is the sole responsibility of the beneficiary. Moreover, beneficiaries not a resident or citizen of the UK are taxed accordingly.

I am Mr. Thomas Pitch, the head of taxation department of the HMRC UK. As the monitoring agency to all money laundering issues and custom issues, the HMRC has full information on the transfer of lotto winnings to you from the Camelot Cooperation. These lotto winnings as we know contains Ref Number: MEI/M94029E942/09 and Serial number: MEL/CM/ENG7/112 and is confirmed to be a real prize of 1,591,090.00 GBP. This is to inform you that the British Government has restricted the dispatch of your lottery winnings to you as you are not a Resident of the UK, benefiting from British funds. To receive your lotto payments, you are required to pay a Non-residential tax fee or Income permit tax fee to the British Government, before you can receive any British funds.

Follow below, the tax fees

Non- Residential tax fee
620 GBP (Six hundred and twenty Great Britain Pounds)
Payment of this will grant you a UK residential permit and permit to receive your lotto winnings immediately.

Or

Income permit tax fee
435 GBP (Four hundred and Thirty Five Great Britain Pounds)
Payment of this will only grant you a permit to receive your lotto winnings immediately.

All payment should be made via the Lotto office. Kindly pick one out of the two above fees best suitable to your wishes and make payments as directed. The Lotto office will then get back to us with tax payment after you confirm payment to their office. On receipt of the tax, you shall be issued a HMRC receipt and cleared to receive your winnings immediately.

With Best Regards
Mr. Thomas Pitch
Taxation Department
Federal Inland Revenue.
LONDON, UK.
