Title character limitations bah. Anyway as I was saying I just received this scam email that aside from its poor spelling looked like it could fit very nicely in the shadowrun universe as either a "Decker scams money out of wageslaves" or "corporations show their good nature PR spin with 1 lucky limited or full corp employee a year getting this . . .

All spelling and grammar errors faithfully reproduced from the original. I do think this could do very nicely for the purposes I said. If your running it as a legitimate lottery type situation 1 million nuyen could be dropped to half a million pocket change for a megacorp but enough to set one corporate employee up for life for major PR cudos (nice little add campaign of the win for life lottery with past winners and the like) or if you don't want your employee dissapearing 100,000 would be a major boost to most wageslaves but not enough for them to retire on.
Just limit eligibility and reword it slightly to "Congratulations "Insert Name", your SIN "Insert SIN" has been selected as this years winner of the "Insert Corporation" lottery. Please contact our head office to discuss arrangements.
Arrangements being the ceremony where you get your check, and no need to tell them what the head office number is since as an employee they are meant to know it along with local security numbers, trouble reporting numbers etc, etc. Of course if the poor employee where to be robbed by nasty criminals after getting the money but before they could spend it well this happens every now and then and the corporation security is working with national police to track them down and punish them.
