Mr. Larry White has appointed Mr. Stan Carter (Despatch Officer) of M/s NETPOST COURIER SERVICES PLC, as my claim process and subsequent deliver the same to me in India at my home address.

Mr.Stan Carter emailed me two options and asked me to opt one option out of these two options. Option No. (1) is to deliver the parcel of my winning prize through courier and the charges are 599 and the option No. (2) is via Bank Wire Transfer of funds in my given bank account number and the charges thereof are 2000. I opted the option No. (1) and intimated my option choice to Mr. Stan Carter. Mr. Stan Carter intimated me through an email that he will be deputing Mr. Mark David their Diplomatic Agent for the collection of 599 charges of delivery of the parcel and after collecting the said charges, he will deliver your parcel at your residence address.

Mr. Mark David Called me from Mumbai from his mobile No. 09833063882 on my given Mobile No. 09988027140 and advised me that he is carrying my prize parcel and shall deliver the same to my residence address and advised me before delivery of the parcel, you have to pay 599 to its handling & delivery charges. He sent me the account details of M/S KALPANA ENTERPRISES, MUMBAI, A/C NO. 037705000746 OF JP ROAD, ANDHERI (W) ICICI BANK BRANCH, PAN AEAPT1664E and advised me to deposit 48,500/- in the said account. I proceed and deposited the said amount in the above given account number at ICICI Branch at Pa;thankot, Punjab .

Mr. Mark David confirmed its receipt and then he told me that your parcel is yet to arrive from their Head Office, UK and you have to wait for two days. I kept in waiting and after two days when I contacted Mr. Mark David he told me that the International Financial Corporation has put a stop on your Parcel and the same can only be transferred to you via bank wire transfer and for that you have to go for our option No. (2) and for which you have to deposit balance amount of 1401 and he again given me another account details of MR. S.M.RANE OF THANE. I deposited 1,13,000/- in this account number.

Mr. Mark David again advised me that you have to go for opening an account in ABN AMRO BANK in UK and your draft will be deposited in that account and then the transfer will occur and for this the ABN AMRO BANK require 5000 pounds minimum. I surprised to note this statement of Mr. Mark David and I expressed my in ability to pay more. Then Mr. Mark advised me that he is ready to help me by paying 4500 pounds and asked me to deposit only 500 pounds and intimated me that he will get his 4500 pounds when my prize amount will be reflected in my given account number. Then I thought Mr. Mark David is helping me upto this extent and I should go ahead. Then I again deposited 500 pounds in the another account number given by Mr. Mark David.

After receiving this all these payments from me Mr. Mark David could not turned up to me and he sent me an email that he has no money and he has to pay his Hotel Bills and to purchase the Air Ticket and for that he require Indian Rs. 28000/- and after remitting his Hotel Bill and subsequently he will purchase the Air Ticket and he will be with me on same day. Mr. Mark David again insisted me to deposit Rs. 28000/-. God knows, I sold the ornaments of my wife and again paid Rs. 28000/- to Mr. Mark David but lastly he again demanded Rs. 5000/- from me and I again paid to him Rs. 5000/- but he could not reach me. The Pay-In-Slips of ICICI Bank are attached herewith for your reference and verification please.

I reported the matter to his Head Office, to Mr. Stan Carter at UK . Mr. Stan Carter emailed me that Mr. Mark David has not worked fairly with you and the Company has terminated his services and the Company has appointed their new Diplomatic Agen Mr. Godson Becky (Chief Co-ordinator) in their office at Mumbai.

After two days, i.e. on 5-11-2007, Mr. Godson Becky called me on my mobile number from his own mobile No. 09867205523 and asked me to deposit 370 pounds more and he will deliver your prize parcel at your residence address on next day. On asking what about my payment already paid to Mr. Mark David, he told me that there is no record in your file which is lying with us. He has given his Mumbai Office address as under

NETPOST EXPRESS INDIAN

OFFICE ADDRESS

NETPOST EXPRESS SERVICE

MARINE LINE , BEHIND UN OFFICE,

MUMBAI.

Mobile No. +9867205523.

But I expressed my inability to pay more because of the unfair activities of Mr. Mark David, their ex-diplomatic agent. Mr. Godson is still camping at Mumbai and still insisting me now to deposit atleast 350 pounds to conclude this transaction. He has also sent me the scanned copy of my prize bank draft of BARCLAYS BANK, UK and is assuring me to get it encashed soon after the receipt of 350 pounds. I have cleared my position to Mr. Godson that I have left nothing to pay more being poor man and the payment I have already paid to Mr. Mark David, has been borrowed by me on heavy rate of interest and the parties from which I have borrowed the said amount are coming to my door step for getting their payment back along with the interest accrued on it which has created panic in my mind and I am totally up set and harassed.

Lastly Mr. Godson called me on 30-11-2007 and pressed me hard either to deposit 350 pounds today itself of forget your prize as he going back to UK in the coming week i.e. from on Tuesday, the 25th December, 2007 because of Cristmas & nobody will listen you after this date.

But on 3rd January, 2008 Mr Charles Kennedy Clinton newly apponted Diplomatic Agent at NETPOST COURIER SERVICE, MRINE DRIVE, BEHIND UN OFFICE, MUMBAI. Mobile No. 9867783589, Land No. 022-265386788, called me on my mobile No. 9988027140 asking me to deposit more amount of Rs. 17000/- so they can deliver your parcel on same day bu Air at my Resodence. On asking about the previous payments deposited by me, he replied that that agent has been transferred and gone back to UK and he has nothing put on record in your file which is lying here in our office. I expressed my enability to apy more as I have already paid excess amount. He is constantly insisting me to pay the amount and get your prize. He also told me that I am very busy because I am to contact so many other clients for the same purpose.

It is therefore very humbly requested to please take up the matter appropriately and sutable action may please be taken against
