‘Win’ that came with too many strings attached

I HAVE had enough of many advertising gimmicks, and I will not let this one go without any fuss or complaint.  

I received a phone call congratulating me for winning a free stay at a hotel in Kuantan, Lumut or Kuala Lumpur. It seems my name was selected during a lucky draw at the customer counter at the recent MAS Travel Fair in MidValley. I was glad to receive such good news and wanted to make arrangements for this free stay to be sent to me.
