Spelled right and in reasonable English, not like your usual scamster, a potentially worrying development.

Well done on winning anyway, mate!

[Code Monkey]

as it is now on public can we all email to claim the reward,
just to see how much hassle could be caused all at once, use a hotmail account with strict spam filters and who cares if they get addresses?

And there you were fretting over two weeks without pay yesterday, the Lord works in mysterious ways!

You idiot, you've lost your chance now

Congratulations!

As an aside, I had to log into a special e-bay webiste and confirm all my account details this morning. Luckily I got sent the e-mail from e-bay warning me about it, otherwise I would have had my e-bay account suspended and then closed!! I've confirmed my log in and password details now, so I should be fine...

(oh wait... hang on... I don't have an e-bay account...D'oh!!!)
