I too have received a congratulatory letter purporting to come from Microsoft saying I had just won 4.5 million pounds. This was from Lisa Dale Email:[email protected]
Microsoft Promotion Award Team
40 Ryecroft Way Stopsley
London, United Kingdom.

But she gave no phone number, despite me asking her for one in my reply. I also received:

Congratulations from the Staffs & Members of the interative Lotteries Board Commission

Sincerely,
Dr. Rose A. Allen

Lisa Dale wrote that I must contact
DELUXE COURIER (Worldwide Courier)
241 Horton Road

United Kingdom.
Tel: +44 704 571 3237

I tried to phone the above number as well as a “personal number” a Mr Victor Klein of Deluxe Courier sent me. An automated message informed me that neither number was “on the network”. In other words these telephone numbers don’t apparently exist.

Victor Klein, at Deluxe Courier, then requested from me my “delivery profile” which I emailed him. He then told me to send by Western Union a minimum of £400 to Derrick Hopkins (Accounting Officer).
241 Horton Road
West Drayton Middlesex,
London, United Kingdom.

And that after confirmation of that, within at least 116 hours my packet containing certified check would be delivered to me at my residential address.

I would like to contact Bill Gates about this. And see if he has been handing out millions of pounds to quite a few “2007 winners”, if I am to judge from many similar Microsoft congratulatory letters posted on Complaints website.

I would also like to contact the UK Fraud Squad at Scotland Yard to find out if anyone has actually wired delivery money requested, and then never heard from either the Courier Service or Microsoft Promotion Team.
