Well this is GREAT!

You mean to say that I actually won $1,000,000 Euros? (What's that in US Dollars? How about Mexican pesos?)

OK. I read your email several times and I think I can provide everything you need - almost. But your attachment didn't open and I tried everything I could think of. I hope it's not too important.

As to the list of questions:

#1 - My name is Jan Vowel and yes, I am over the age of 18. I have been over the age of 18 for 10 years. And come to think of it, I've been over the age of 10 for 18 years. How's that for a coincidence! Do you need any more verification than that?

#2 - I guess I wait for the form.

#3 - I'm not comfortable with people opening files for me, but in this case I'll allow it. So put me down for a "Yes".

#4 - You are right. I am not a residence of the Netherlands. But I do wash my nether regions every day. I think everybody should. I'm not sure if this helps, and there's really no way for me to verify this unless I sent you a video, and I really would rather not. But for $1,000,000 Euros, there's a lot I will do.

#5 - I'm glad to hear that my winnings (!!!) are in a crow account with hardcore indemniflies. It sounds safe enough.

#6 - Here's what I was telling you about. Trouble opening the attachment. Can you send it again? And maybe grease it up or something? I'm damned if I can figure out how to open it. Please try again.

#7 - This is the step I like. THE MONEY!! I'll have to think about how I want the money. I don't trust those goofballs over at my bank. They're always giving me body cavity searches... well not all of them. Just this one guy. He checks me out almost every day. Says it's "protocol". Yeah, right. But I may just take it as a certified check (and by the way, you spelled "check" wrong.)

Waiting to hear back from you, I am

Jan Vowel, Millionaire!
