Text pieces in bold and italics added to highlight the best pieces.

So they have selected YOU based on a spambot finding 250,000 email addresses from the web, for he sole purpose of donating BIG AMOUNT OF MONEY (why does it always have to be spelled in capitals?)

Also the contact person you should contact is always with a free email provider, not once from anything like lottery.gov.uk ..

So you would need to be over 18, in UK, and yet "Staff of all Companies in the UK are not to partake in this Email Promotional Lottery"..
