Our correspondent reports: Yesterday afternoon (December 11, 2003), when Howard, the Chief Executive Officer of KVB Kunlun International who flew specially from Auckland to Sydney, drew a lucky ticket from among the many raffle entries, the first fortunate winner of a free KVB Kunlun International plane ticket to fly home for the New Year was announced. She is a long-time immigrant who has lived in Sydney for many years, and this ticket enabled her to return to China early to celebrate the New Year with her family.

The winner, Ms. Su Zhiwen, has been an immigrant in Australia for more than a decade. When KVB Kunlun International staff informed her that she had won the plane ticket grand prize, she was both surprised and thrilled. She said: "I hadn't originally planned to return to China anytime soon, but such a fortunate round-trip ticket—I think this will change my and my husband's plans, especially the chance to fly back and celebrate the New Year together with our relatives in China. It's truly exciting!" She also told the reporter: "KVB Kunlun International has always provided me with better exchange rates than any bank in Australia for my import and export business, which has greatly improved the profitability of my business. And the safe, fast, and convenient foreign exchange services they provide demonstrate their highly trustworthy professional quality."

According to reports, the free ticket Ms. Su won is the first lucky ticket issued in KVB Kunlun International's two-month "Fly Home for the New Year, Exchange Currency, Win Big Prizes" promotion. In this campaign aimed at retail clients, KVB Kunlun International will give away one free round-trip ticket worth AUD 1,000 from Sydney to major cities in China every two weeks. All retail clients who exchange foreign currency through KVB Kunlun International will receive one raffle entry for every AUD 2,000 exchanged.
