Dear Mr. Hilary J. Sydemham,
OH MY GOODNESS! I can't believe I won! I never win anything! Well, I've won my nickle back a couple times from slot machines here and there - but that's not really 'winning' anything, that's more like getting a free spin.
AND THE WINNING NUMBER! 27 09 8765!!! you have no idea what an AMAZING coincidence that is! I was born on September 27th, 1965! Brilliant luck indeed!
Three and a half million dollars you say? Boy oh boy could I ever use it. My brother Bouba has fallen on desperate times. Desperate times no more!
Just tell me what I have to do to claim my prize that I've been hoping I'd win since last October, and I'll do it! Heck, I'm so rich now I'll even buy YOU a car, Mr. Hilary J. Sydemham. Us Managing Directors need to stick together (I'm a managing director as well. maybe now that money is no longer an obstacle we should get together and start a Managing Directors Convention for managing directors everywhere).
Thank you so much, Hilary J. Sydemham, you've more than made my day - you've made my life!
Do you like cheese?
