Lucky E-Mail

Here’s the latest scam to make it past my spam filter. Here’s some advice to anyone who came here wondering if an e-mail like this one is legitimate: no one will hold a lottery for which no one pays for ticket and contact you via an impersonal e-mail to tell you that you’ve won. Please be realistic.

Here’s the text of the e-mail (which was sent from [email protected]):
