Hmm. Some commentators appear to be assuming that you don't get to keep the contents of the envelope which Alpha sent you. The problem is not 100% clear on this issue - and it makes a difference to the answer!

As it says "You get an envelope from your good friend Alpha," I'd assume by default that you get to keep it, unless there were an explicit statement that Omega might steal it from you under some circumstance.
