RIght, according to the email below, I have won a holiday.
The problem is I entered lots of competitions found on here and elsewhere, and I can't remember this one specifically. DOes anyone recall it, or alternatively has anyone had the same email?
Hoping it's true, but cynical me does wonder.....
Dear ,
Congratulations!! You are the winner of the competition offered by San Miguel and published in the Sainsbury Magazine.
Your prize is:
You’ve won a week’s holiday for you and a friend at the resort of Formigal in the Spanish Pyrenees .
You will be spending a week at the four-star Abba Formigal , a traditional mountain hotel with fabulous views across the Tena Valley .
The prize includes return flights from London Gatwick to Huesca Pirineos, transfer to resort, ski hire, lift pass and half board accommodation. After a day on the slopes you can relax in the hotel’s pool, Jacuzzi, sauna and steam room or as a special treat, try a massage.
If you’ve got any energy left, the Abba Hotel has a gym where you’ll be able to burn off a few more calories.
The Abba Formigal restaurant serves superb food in a relaxed, warm setting and for an after dinner drink the hotel has a bar and various lounge areas filled with plump inviting sofas and cosy armchairs. Or if you prefer to party till dawn, the Abba is just a stone’s throw from Formigal’s pubs and bars.
And if the demands of work are too much to ignore for a whole week, the Abba Formigal has free wifi connection.
We hope you enjoy skiing under the Spanish sun!
The holiday must be taken during medium, offer and low season 2010/1. Except Half Term (20-27 February)
Please, let me know when you would like to come to Formigal, (between the 16th of January to 27th of March, except the Half Term week) and I will send you the contact information on a Crystal Holiday Representative, who will do the booking.

Looks ok. You're not being asked for money up front or anything odd like that.
Have any men from a West African country contacted you?

Mister T, I got an email the other week - simply said something along the lines of 'you have won a sat nav in a recently entered sainsburys competition. It will be delivered on monday between 8am and 6pm please make sure someone is in to sign for the delivery'. I didnt remember entering but it arrived lol. Who was the company that sent the e-mail?

I'd take it as far as them wanting the 3 digit security code from your card, then I would start asking questions.

Shimmy Alcott, pam w,

Mister T, a nice four start hotel - jacuzzi, pool, massage, bar, half board - she'd be nuts not to go. Nice just to be in the mountains.

Absolutely. A few good books, meet you for lunch, some good walks. Delightful. Or is she saving Brownie Points for a girls' trip somewhere warm and sunny?

holidayloverxx, The closing date was the 7th.
Tomorrow is the date on which the winner was going to be announced on their website (i.e. giving them time to contact the winner and get a response before announcing it).
It did also say in the T&C that it was going to be drawn tomorrow, but that was obviously a misprint.

Mister T, Congratulations. And take her with you. She mightn't be into skiing but I bet she's into Spanish waiters.
