OP - if I were you, I'd take my email address out of your post. You never know what unscrupulous people are reading.

if thats your real email address, you may won't to remove it, or your spam levels might start rising massively0

I get the same email quite often and just bin it......soz. Agree with the other posters that you should delete your email addy from your post (if its your real one)

Agreed, take your email out of the original post!
The email looks like spam to me. As far as I can see, it's from an American telemarketing company.0 -
It doesn't say that you've won, just that you are a potential winner - just like we all are every time we go in for a competition.0

I got this the other day hubby said its junk:beer:0

I usually avoid emails saying...."possible" winner as it means there is effort involved - but if i have entered a competition its normally straight forward and either have won or not won. I would spam it myself.Ask.. Believe.. Receive..

Thanks guys. Thanks for noticing my email address, I didnt see it there, as i was in a hurry as im secretly on this at my work and had to rush to put it on without anyone seeing. I have removed it now.
Think I will just delete the email, I was a bit weary of it but now im sure it will be junk.
Thanks again. xx0/2013

I get these all the time and also have gotten a few supposed to be from Microsoft saying I had won a million pounds - they're rubbishIf at first you don't succeed try, try, try again.
