The original copies of your award documents from the american government stating that the money was legally awarded to you through the msn/sympatico lottery program would be sent to you via fedex courier. we advise you to confirm the correctness of your account information to our paying bank (bank of american) through email [protected]@usa.com or fax:+[protected] to avoid wrongful wire transfer of your winning prize.

Account holder's name - surendra kumar meena
Account number - [protected]
Bank name - bank of baroda
Bank address - station road sikar, rajasthan (india) pin 332001
Bank tel. - [protected]

In addition to confirmation of the above banking details, kindly be informed that all non-american award winners shall be liable to cost arising from the (dof&f non-residential reduced value added tax (vat). the management of msn/sympatico has taken out an insurance cover agreement sealed with a policy that restrict us from any form of deduction from your original prize value of five hundred and fifthy thounsand us dollar only (550, 000.00 usd) only, to avoid misappropriation of award funds, which is in accordance with section 19a sub-section 2 of the usa insurance laws on award money, donation and/or lottery winnings.

The british government is requesting for a non residential reduced vat rate of % on your total winning prize in advance (calculated in an amount of $800.00 or 39, 500.00 inr in your local currency) from you through the office of department of taxation and finance (dof&f) since your award prize of three hundred and fifthy thounsand us dollar only
(550, 000.00 usd) only, falls under the non-residence vat category3.
the department of taxation and finance (dof&f) is a american governmental body that ensure that the correct tax is paid at the right time, whether this relates to payment of taxes received by the department or entitlement to benefits paid.

There are 3 rates of vat:
the standard rate: 17.5%
The reduced medium rate: 5%
The reduced rate: 0% for american resident and 0.45% for non-us resident

Since you're a non-british lottery winner and do not have any property or work in the united state, the american government has made the (dof&f) reduced vat rate a pre-requisite for issuance of tax clearance receipt (tcr) in order to approve the immediate transfer of your award funds and delivery of your award documents.

How to make vat payment:
the department of taxation and finance department is mindful of the sensitivity of sars even within the same organisation & endeavours to communicate only with persons whose personal information is verifiable by them.in-view of the fact that our prestigious establishment has a registration file with the dof&f tax department & its information is verifiable by dof&f; all non-residential award winners must pay the vat through us.

Mode of payment;
1. vat payment can be made in cash by non-residential awardees only (relations & friends are not allow to pay on behalf of award winners to avoid double claims) through our american office, usa.

2. vat payment can be made through our associate’s account in the winners’ country of residence world-wide. vat payment in india can be made by cash deposit of 35, 200 inr (which is calculated to be an equivalent of $800.00 usd) in our associate account.
Vat payment through our associate in india is much easier and faster as the amount would be released to us by our associate’s offshore office in usa once the payment is confirmed from your end. send a scanned copy of the pay-in slip to us for payment confirmation. note that this payment route is initiated to help accelerate the process of your claim.
you are required to kindly choose one method of vat payment so that we can provide you with our account department office address in usa to walk-in & pay the vat charges or deposit in our associate's account as instructed above.

Upon confirmation of your account details to our paying bank & receipt of the required reduced vat charges by the office of the dof&f, a tax clearance receipt and an approval would be release to us & the paying bank; with the dof&f tax clearance receipt (tcr) and an approval letter, your award funds would be transferred into your nominated bank account & your winning legal documentations will be dispatch (through fedexcourier) to the postal address your provided immediately. note that award funds would reflect in your account within 48hours of fund transfer.

Congratulations once again from all members & staff msn/sympatico lottery team.

Sincerely yours,

Dr. ben carter
