RE: An 84-year-old woman who bought her Powerball ticket after another customer let her get ahead in line came forward Wednesday to claim the $590 million jackpot, becoming the largest sole lottery winner in the history of American lotteries. The woman, Gloria C. Mackenzie of Zephyrhills, took a lump sum payment of just over $370 million, Florida Lottery officials said. After paying 25 percent for federal income taxes, she is taking home about $270 million, officials said.
Dear Aunty Gloria (that's her name), you don't know me, but I do know you. I'm your far, far, faaar away Eastern European nephew. I was going to get in contact with you last month, but I was busy with the Wales 2013 meet.
I hope you are very well! How are you, anyway?
Listen, I hate to do this, but me and my buddy Ian, also known as Wasso the Polishing Guy desperately need some help.
We were recently been diagnosed with a very rare and incurable form of Obsessive Buying Disorder and we were going to try a very pioneering form of treatment that may have good results, it's still in the lab, but we volunteered to try it.
It's a unorthodox alternative method, but with no major risks of complications and it involves spending a final lump sum of money, each on one thing: a ultimate BBK made by Greddy for me and a LSA engine+gearbox for my buddy Wasso.
Can you please help at all? We only need about $6.000 for my brakes and $25.000 for Wasso's LSA project. Make it $30.000 and we can source the remaining amount from close family here in the UK, do not worry too much about that!
I hate to do this since I don't know you very well, but I promised I will stay away and never contact you again, unless you want me to. Like buying my GTR 2013 version or something.
I also promise it's nothing to do with your recently won prize, the biggest in the entire USA lottery history.
P.S.
If you get a simillar letter from a green looking fellow called Keyser, please disregard it, he is not related to you at all, in fact, he's not even Eastern European, you know?
Yours sincerely,
Adrian
