I'm Rich?!?

So...a few days ago I recieved an e-mail informing me that I had won a substantial amount of money. Supposedly it comes from when my husband and I purchased my e-tickets for my trip home. The funny thing is that the e-mail I provided with my ticket purchase was not the e-mail that these lovely people sent this *winning* e-mail to. Hm...oh well...I can always pretend as though I am 850 thousand pounds richer. I posted the e-mail below.... :-) Apparently I am not the only one who has recieved it. When will this people learn???

I've received that email 3 times a day for the last month. It really pisses me off!

The one I posted here is the 3rd one I received this past week. It really is annoying.
