Comments on this Consulate-General
Respected Sir,
This is to inform you that I have received an email dtd 27th November 2009 from BRITISH TOBACCO COMPANY addressed to "citibnklondon22@hotmail.co.in" informing me that I was one of the winners of awards in random draws, Award is of tune of 1 Million GBP Sterlings. I was asked to provide information to Citi Bank London immediately.
I want to verify or know the authenticity of this award offered by BRITISH TOBACCO PROMO as they have put five options before me for getting the award money transfered to me i.e. my account which I have to open in Citi Bank London. The range of five options offered demands a sum of around 160 to 220 GBP Sterlings to be paid to Citi Bank prior to award money is paid or transferred to my account through various means indicated by the Citibank.
I am an Indian national staying in Pune, India. I am a retired engineer. I may prefer option No 1 which asks for 160 pounds to be paid. This works to around Rupees 12,000 approx. which I am able to pay.
But, as I am quite new to this & not aware of what this random draw was taken out, I don't know the authenticity of the total affair.
Therefore, I request you kindly to throw light in this matter and inidcate the total authencity of this award otherwise, my money which I may be sending will be at stake.
KINDLY HELP ME IN THIS RESPECT.
