Google values your right to privacy! Your information is 100% secured
and will be used exclusively for the purpose of this award only.
The Google Promotion Award Team 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. As a
result of this, these friends try to claim their winnings on behalf of
the real winners. The Google Promotion Award Team has reached a
decision from headquarters that any double claim discovered by the
Lottery Board will result to the cancelling 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.
Congratulations from the Staffs & Members of Google Board Commission
and we wish you continued good fortunes.
Sincerely,
Larry Page
