I try not to tell other people how to run their countries, but this is getting ridiculous. If their lottery is this easy to win, I don't see how the United Kingdom can stay afloat financially. In the interest of international harmony, I'm going to forgo this prize, thank you.
The U.K. is such a thoughtful country.
(As always, I assume that the persons mentioned in this e-mail are fictional, or if they are real people that they aren't the ones actually involved in this scam.)
