Yay another lotery win, I must be the luckiest man alive. No need to have a job, as I win the lottery a couple times a week and essentially have an income greater than that of any Premiere League footballer... *sighs* if only. Alas this is of course yet another scam email that I've been sent. I've posted it below for your reading amusement exactly as it was sent to me, typos and all. Enjoy!

Dear Dr. Cole, read with interest your publication - having received some quite similar E-Mails from this Mr. G. Smith over the time being, the last today.
I simply skip these "funny" messages thus not at all investing a second in nice dreaming. Astonishing for me it is how come that these criminal get knowledge of my E-Mail? I seems that there behind exists a good organized organization, this as I also receive "funny" mails for cooperation from Africa with different - at the first glance - realistic chances of participation of heritages, funds from airplane crash victims or money to be paid for imports of construction machinery to south Africa thus really! presenting docus that are pretty legal looking. I crosschecked and easily found out the special bad thing early enough. Being curious does not at all mean that you and me, we are dreaming, what can'be is but a nice dream but not at all realistic, you will have to continue working for your living. Thanks for your indication and comment - perhaps my comment helps to open eyes, this even if a niche dream is being offered. Thanks for reading.
I also got a similar E-mail, which did surprise me at first sinse I never signed up on their website, (which doest even yet exist)I didnt believe it-so I looked it up on google. It was a bit different though. WINNING NOTIFICATION

Yes, very interesting. There are literally thousands of these emails, all variations on the same theme. I've posted just a fraction of the ones I've received, but even from those it's possible to see common trends. Thanks for posting yours.
