Ok, here goes. Double checked with friends/relative in Japan as well. Basically it says:
"Congratulations on your luck!"
Dear valued customer,
I am joyfully convinced that you are doing very well.
Thank you very much indeed for buying and loving our company TOMY's products.
At this time, thank you very much for applying to the "Plarail Thomas-fest".
After careful consideration, you were selected for this event.
So, we have sent the prize "Golden Thomas" to you. We are glad if you like it.
(金ピカ is the slang to emphasize "golden")
I appreciate your continued support.
Sincerely
November, 1997
TOMY Co., Ltd
(TakaraTomy now but back then, it was only TOMY)
Hope that helps. Don't know much about Thomas train stuff
