Lottery Scam emails

Another lottery scam email. Note they try and get around the inevitable question of 'why me when I didn't buy a ticket?' by saying it's PR and the address was given by microsoft. I bet microsoft would be surprised to read that. They start phishing low key. Why do they need to know your occupation? And they have the nerve to say the co-ordinator has a knighthood!
