Any breach of confidentiality on the part of the winners may result to disqualification. You are to keep all lotto information away from the general public especially your lucky numbers:  and your ref. numbers (This is important as a case of double claims will not be entertained).

Regards,
Advocate Franklin Edward,
Attorney at Law.

Dear Mr. Edward,

you have successfully passed my punctuality test. You shall be spared for now.

Do not presume to tell me I must "complete the form". I have sliced people to bite-sized pieces and fed them to my hounds for much more inconsequential transgressions. You also dare say I must "return it back to [you] immediately". I have dissolved people in acid and discarded their remains in their hometown's local water supply for far more trivial infractions. I would strongly advise you refrain from testing my patience. I shall or shall not complete the form at the time and place of my choosing.

Anyway, please find the responses to your invasive form below:

Your full names: Thomas Connor Larson
Gender: Male
Your address: 4041 Quarry Drive, Alabama, 36703
Your country: United States of America
Nationality: American
Your fax: Who uses fax in this day and age? Wait... are you not from Microsoft? Does Microsoft still use fax machines?!
Home phone number: I do not have a home telephone.
Mobile phone number: I do not use wireless devices.
Occupation: Retired
Your age: 96

Lastly, you insist I "keep all lotto information away from the general public". There are mass graves still being discovered today of people who have demanded far less of me. And while I may be very old and those days far behind me, do not make the mistake of assuming I am not one to revisit an old classic.

You have ten days to send the money.

Regards,
Tom
