Strange, though, that U.K. Lottery Management’s email address in the sender’s field is hank_pam@charter.net!!

Obviously, it goes without saying that I haven’t really won the lottery and that this is a typical email scam that would require me to pay money before never actually receiving my winnings.

The fact that the sender’s English and grammar are poor are another indication that this email is not quite genuine.
