Why did you even open the spam email to begin with much less post it here when we ourselves deleted and moved on?
Come on, seriously you are having trouble disbelieving this crap?

There are several ways to tell a fraud email of that kind. One is to review the subject line on a website like snoops.com. There are other methods, like putting some of the words into an internet search following the word "spam?"
Basically, if you did not enter some drawing and know the sender, it is fake designed to get your financial information. I suggest not even looking for an answer because it is always the same. discovered spam.
Keywords like Nigeria, united Kingdom, or several others are noted for having way too much fake email attempting to get your data.
I used Google and found 3 references to spam using "Spam? CITIPAK WORLDWIDE EXPRESS LTD, United Kingdom " as a search

This has "scam" written all over it. Never trust a lottery you didn't sign up for, especially if they require money for you to receive the winnings!

Hello there.
This is, as rightly put by many others a total scam.
Now, what have you done to read this? If in Hotmail etc, you're pretty safe, but did you read this in Outlook Express? If you did, do NOT accept read receipts or download images that are in the email and by no means click on any of the links.
If you have done any of the above, run a virus scan NOW.
Regards
John

Total scam.. If you did not enter you did not win. Trust me people just don't go around giving away free money. Unless it is the Lottery and you did buy a ticket.

Wow you are so lucky! I wish I could win a lottery I never signed up for in a country I've never been to. I would give them your banking information right away if I were you.
