SIR, I am happy to share my delight at receiving through the post a millionaire’s acceptance form from an Irish Lottery group inviting me to meet an award auditor to accept a cheque for several million pounds, possibly as much as £15 million.

They have already entered me so that I have an excellent chance of consolidating this win. The prize award auditor is on standby pending the SoleTop Prize Win. If I am available to accept a massive cheque I should fill out the millionaire’ acceptance form and send it back to them. A ll that is required is a handling fee of ten pounds to be paid in either notes, a cheque or credit card with the last three digit on the signature strip.

It takes some time to try to comprehend the complicated instructions to receive my prize.

Sadly I shall not be receiving my prize as I have no intention of communicating with these people as I have to quote the old Scottish maxims that I do not zip up the back nor did I come up the Clyde in a banana boat.

I am, etc.

Derek Philips Clovenfords
