UK National Lottery Scam
This is a standard lottery scam message, made timely and urgent by claiming to report the results of today’s drawing (with the date correctly specified). The formatting is so broken, however, that it seems to have been cut and pasted from earlier message fragments. Because scammers of this kind depend upon establishing personal contact with you, the reply-to address is usually a giveaway: why would any real UK National Lottery be writing from an address at latinmail.com?
