I've won £3,000,000, from Microsoft! Just in time for Christmas

[Gravity Aided]

I phoned the number given and spoke to someone called Shawn. His spelling, not mine.

From the States, eh?

 

[Beebo]

It's very nice of Microsoft to just hand out 10 prizes of £3,000,000 every quarter, isnt it.
You'd imagine they might have some sort of philanthropic department to do that sort of thing in a more effective manner.
Oh yes they do! Silly me. $3.6 billion given away every year!

Our emails have crossed! You were supposed to get this one I have here about something being enlarged. I can't read what - it's corrupted. Bloody internet...

Can send you that one. Not a big problem really.

 

[Hugh Manatee]

Oooh, aren't you the lucky one. All I got today was a phone call saying that most of the programs weren't running properly on my PC probably due to viruses.

I kept him on the phone for ages before I told him I'm not falling for it.
