Those whose Email address were chosen for the draws were randomly selected and drawn from a wide range of web hosts which we enjoy their patronage.
The selection was made through a computer draw system attaching personalised email addresses to ticket numbers. If you ignore this, you will regret it later. Microsoft and AOL are now the largest Internet companies and in an effort to make sure that Internet Explorer remains the most widely used program, Microsoft and AOL are running an e-mail beta test.

Your email address as indicated was drawn and attached to ticket number XXXXXXXXXX with serial numbers XXXXXXXXXXXX and drew the lucky numbers XXXXXXXXXXXX which subsequently won you 500,000.00 (Five Hundred Thousand Great Britain Pounds) as one of the 10 jackpot winners in this draw.

It's not worth fixing. You can get an HD-ready 42" plasma for less than $2k. Probably much less after Christmas. Prices on big TV's are dropping like stones.

If you HAVE to fix it, maybe you can just remove the guts and take THAT to the shop?
