    I must admit: it looks pretty genuine... Then again, so do a lot of those 'replies'...

    Weird approach for spam, esp. as there is an address.

      I've seen these before (though the one I remember was a Dutch lottery).

      A google search for "Silver Fortune Lottery" is very informative...

          "Lopez Hernandez"????

          You'd think they'd come up with something a little more imaginative.
