What does a winning email look like?

I am sure many of you get lots of emails a day because of when entering a competition, its often a requirement that you subscribe/receive offers.

I am wondering, no one can be bothered to open all these emails, but then some competitions tell you if you are a winner by email. How can you tell this email from the rest, are the subjects usually "You are our winner"?

    They usually start with "Congratulations" and quite often have a persons name as the sender @company.co. You can usually tell them although sometimes companys deliberately make their emails look like a win to make sure you open them!

    I get a lot in my junk mail saying congratulations from WRM which make it look real but I know they're spam. As sheils said, you can generally tell by the name of who is sending it. I do still check my spam box though as some wins can pass through spam!
    Big thanks to all who contribute to the forums. Be lucky everyone and be safe!
