My reply:

Wow, I've been incredibly blessed and lucky lately. Why just yesterday, I found a perfectly good, half-eaten burrito on the sidewalk. And now this! However, I'm not sure that telling you my name, address, telephone number, occupation and the country in which I reside will be sufficient information to claim my prize. Would it be okay for me to give you the passwords to all of my online bank accounts, as well as my social security number? I feel that this would expedite the process. The sooner this transaction occurs, the sooner I can quit my dreadful job. In fact, I've already given my notice. I anxiously await your reply, and thanks again!
Will update.

Request that they pay you in Bitcoin instead. Tell them that you need it electronically transferred because you have to pay clearing fees on some money a long lost uncle left you in Nigeria.

 
Tell them that Donald Sterling is a racist and you therefore cannot in good conscience accept Sterling pounds. Ask if there is another kind of pound they could send.
