Dear Prize Awarding company;

Since I'm so lucky as to have won the world wide bingo, with my new found wealth, I'm now more generous than I've ever been. Please accept half of my winnings as a token of appreciation and a donation for good a cause. You can deduct the non-Holland resident fees from that half, and please send half of my winnings to me.

Keep up the good work.

Your sincerely;

Teh Winnar.
