The check is here in Washington. However, I cannot send or give it to you as i promised/signed a document with the National Lottery that you must pay the Funds release fee, certificate fees and mailing of $500 before the check is handed to you. However, i tried having them reduce the fee but could only get it down to $500. It was initially $600 I made them send the check to an agent of theirs here in USA first as a sign of good faith.

I will keep to my end of the agreement which is to ensure you send the $500 to them first before i send an agent to deliver the check to you in person.
