Sir I have recieved upto 3-4 messages from Reader's Digest I Can have chance to win cars and cash up to 12 lakhs and 26 lakhs no one can response him and i can give my Home Address and my personal details also no answer come from readers digest company what can i do sir please send my answer to my email address.
Thankyou sir.
I also receive a letter from RD in which I read it carefully and send the next day in speed post, but from the time I received it is showing U R the winner and we are putting the red carpet for you r the winner, but what the use, saying same thing in every letter & wasting the time reading this letter which is telling the same thing, I am fed up of reading the letter and wasting my time as well your time.You think we are fools reading the same thing and sending it the day.In every letter you r saying send it within 7 days & you will receive it in next letter the winner confirmation and so I received the next letter & in that again you r saying that the winner confirmation will be in the next letter with blue or red envelope and every time telling the same thing and I am a fool to read the letter in which you tell the same thing & wasting the time.What the use saying you will receive blue envelope, you r saying correctly but same thing is repeated in every letter.
Not only am I receiving the Reader's Digest in time, one gift article received in broken condition was replaced when I complained.
I have been receiving Reader's Digest regularly in time.Further one free gift which I received in broken condition was replaced against my complaint.
I have been recieving sweeptakes documents for last 2 years.In all the letters from the Sweeptakes Committee, I am told to be a potential winner.I had never won and I wonder if any one has ever won.
SIR'
I WAIT FOR YOUR E-MAILLETTER

INDIA TODAY AND READERS DIGEST ARE BOTH UPTO SHORTCHANGING THEIR " BRAND LOYAL" CUSTOMERS WHO MAKE THEIR SUCCESS FOUNDATION.
THEY DO NOT EVEN HAVE THE DECENCY OF LIP-SYMPATHY TO SAY THAT THEY ARE LOOKING INTO THE MATTER.
PLEASE LET ALL O[censored]S LOYAL CUSTOMERS TAKE LEAGAL ACTION, WE HAVE STOP THEIR SALE AT BOOK STALLS.
thank you very much for your invite. and wishes for all winners.
I have participated in the 2009 sweepstakes and received the first booklet parcel in September, 2009 and paid the amount for annual subscription. But I have not received any further communication or booklets from your end. This type of attitude by your concern very much affected me and the image about ur company in my mind. Please arrange to send the issues regularly.

You may be surprised to know that in all of India, less than 1% of the households have been selected to receive this fabulous offer.

You'll be pleased you did.

Sincerely,

P.S. When people receive a Sweepstake invitation - like the one you now have - they often decide to discard it, thinking, "no one ever really wins." And it is a fact that if you choose to ignore your entries, you will NEVER have the good luck to win ANYTHING in our Draws. Don't let this guaranteed chance slip away, just click for your Official Access Code, you could win as much as Rs 3, 000, 000 in cash. Act quickly!
