I do appreciate your taking the time and effort. But frankly, I have won so much money in similar e-mail sweepstakes - and considerably more, I might add, in the millions of pounds sterling, euros, and American dollars - that this sum of £850,000.00 is just not even worth my while to cash. And being a clergyman, these kinds of winnings tend to complicate my tax returns - and so it is my policy not to accept any winnings unless they are at least a million pounds or the equivalent in euros. And, no offense, but I really would prefer payment in gold given the current state of affairs of the world's central-bank-based bubble economy.

However, if you would like to sweeten the pot to seven figures, I would take upon myself the burden of managing this sum of money, otherwise, please feel free to pass along my winnings to someone else.

Cordially,

Father Hollywood
