Subject: Your email has won

It is unreal how other countries and some of our fellow people have so much time on hand to think of ways to extract hard earned money from people that are taught valid values (moral). I have received over 50 scam emails in the past few months and I continue to forward them to either spam or any organization that cracks down on this kind of internet abuse. Interpol has a dept that handles cases like this. You may want to check in to it paste the full contents of the email received also to them. There are other ways to check the validity of " Lottery" or "Winning" emails too try typing in part or all of the subject into your browser and it should come up.
