LG 40TH ANNIVERSARY PROMOTION

I recieved these two emails.

LG House,

250 Bath Road,

Slough, Berkshire,

SL1 4DX

United Kingdom

LG Corp Korean is the second largest Korean conglomerate company that produces electronics, chemicals, and telecommunications products and operates subsidiaries like LG Electronics, LG Display, LG Telecoms and LG Chem in over 80 countries.

LG Corp founder Koo In-Hwoi established Lak-Hui Chemical Industrial Corp. in 1947. In 1952, Lak-Hui (pronounced "Lucky", currently LG Chem) became the first Korean company to enter the plastics industry. As the company expanded its plastics business, it established GoldStar Co., Ltd., (currently LG Electronics Inc.) in 1958.

Goldstar produced South Korea's first radio. Many consumer electronics were sold under the brand name GoldStar, while some other household products (not available outside South Korea) were sold under the brand name of Lucky. The Lucky brand was famous for its line of hygiene products such as soaps and Hi-Ti laundry detergents, but most associated with its Lucky and Perioe toothpaste.

In 1995, to better compete in the Western market, the company was renamed "LG", the abbreviation of "Lucky Goldstar". More recently, the company associates the letters LG with the company tag-line "Life's Good". Since LG also owns the domain name LG.com.

Dear Winner,

I just want to inform you that LG Inc have deposited your funds of 2, 000, 000, 00GBP (Two Million Pounds) with Barclay's Bank here in the United Kingdom (UK) due to the fact that i will be traveling to Madagascar for a course program and will not be coming back until six months time. Since i am the one in charge of your claims i decided to transfer your funds to Barclay's Bank Plc here in the United Kingdom with your previous information so you can get your money easily without stress. Do bear in mind that we were unable to transfer your funds to your country because of the little time space and the urgency for me to leave for Madagascar. Since the funds is already in the UK, transferring it to you in your country will be easy but due to the fact that i have to leave immediately i suggest you contact the bank for a bank to bank transfer.

We have paid to them their insurance coverage fee, the only fee to be paid again is your account activation charges of 300GBP (THREE HUNDRED POUNDS) only. We would have paid that but we said no because we don't know when you will contact them and since they did mentioned that once the funds is in their possession it has to be collected by you on time or the account activation charges will increase. The account activation charges cannot be deducted from your funds because your funds is currently in a dormant account and need to be activated first before being transferred to you.

I will be traveling to Diego Suarez in Madagascar for a 6 months course with my boss tomorrow and I will not come back till next 6 month time, therefore I will advise you to contact the Managing Director of Barclay's Bank Plc here in the United Kingdom with his contact information as listed below for the avoidance of increase of their account activation charges.

Below is the Managing Director's contact information including his email address with the transfer reference number. Note that without you indicating your transfer reference number as listed below to the branch manager, he will not listen to you.

Briggs Timothy Neil Managing Director Barclay's Bank Plc United Kingdom.

Email: [email protected]

Phone: 447743727354

Please make sure the information is complete as they promised that once they receive the account activation charges within 2 to 3 working Hours your funds will be transferred to you according to the Managing Director. Immediately you receive your funds we will start the preparation for your trip to the United Kingdom for our TV program. Do bear in mind that you have a space that will allow maximum of four individuals including yourself for the trip.

Also ask them on how you are to make the payment for the account activation charges to them so they can effect immediate transfer of your funds.
