common for these email scams to be redistributed at a later date with only slightly
different content or the same but with the fake page(s) hosted by a different

Dear xxx,
Congratulations! I have almost completed the
processing and release of your prize winnings.
You winnings can be collected either through the bank,
or we can send you a check for your winnings.
If you decide to collect your wnnings through the
bank,, you will be required to contact Prime Bank
through which all winners of the New Hope Lotto will
receive their winnings. You will be required to open
an online account with them so that your prize money
can be paid into that account via check. They are the
corresponding bank to:
NEW HOPE LOTTERY INTERNATIONAL
NIEUWE ZIJDS VOORBURGWAL, NL- 1009 CEH
AMSTERDAM NETHERLANDS.
You will however be required to defray the cost of
verification and processing. The total cost of which
is US$1,200.00
Opening of account US$500.00
Processing Fee US$700.00
If however you wish us to send your winnings to you by
check, we will have to insure the check and the
acknowledgement documents. This will cost you
US$400.00 payable before the check is sent to you.
Note that any claim not made within the next ten days
will be forfeited.
Please confirm your acceptance / willingness to defray
the above fees to enable me furnish you with the
necessary banking details to claim your winnings or
make arrangements to have your check sent to you.
I await your prompt confirmation to enable me complete
and conclude payment of your winnings.
