She has won more than one million dollars

Thor Henning · 09-19-2006

A Norwegian-American woman named Gunvor who was born in 1944 and emigrated to the US in 1964 and lives in the state of New York, doesn't know that she has won 8.1 million Norwegian kroner (more than one million dollars). The Norwegian lottery firm has tried to get in contact with her without succeeding.

She was on vacation in Norway this summer.

Grandma! Is that you? Do you think I can collect her winnings on her behalf?

Maybe you should try the way everyone else goes when they have a lot of money they just want to give you: send her an email that starts out something like,

Honorable Sir/Madam,

All peace be with you. Allow me to introduce myself. I am the nephew of the former Secretary of State of Sierra Leone...

Make sure to put in some weirder locutions and expressions and misspellings, or she might think it's a hoax or something!

We all get mails like that don't we.

But this is for real. The Norwegian lottery firm can't find the lady. They have tried a cell phone number they have got, but no one is answering.
