Dear Name,
I was thrilled to be notified that I am a second-prize winner in BigCompany's Best Sweepstakes Ever Promotion, which ended on October 20th, 2010. I returned my affidavit of eligibility on November 2nd, 2010 and was confirmed as the winner. According to the sweepstakes' rules, the prize of an Apple iPod Shuffle was scheduled to be sent within 6 weeks of the sweepstakes' end date.
Today is February 1st, 2011, so I wanted to follow up to see if there is any news about when my prize will arrive. Is there anything that I can do to help the process, like re-sending my address or re-faxing my affidavit?
If you could give me a heads up about the expected arrival date of my prize, I'd really appreciate it. You can reach me by email at myemailaddress@email.com or by telephone at 555-555-1212. Thank you for your help, and thanks again for running such a great sweepstakes!
Sincerely,
My Name
