    Looks fake to me. I used to get loads that were similar

    One of the best ways to tell is if they haven't used your name, but either put nothing or 'dear customer' etc.
    The first time we said hello, was the first time we said goodbye. As the angels took your tiny hand and flew you to the sky-you forever left us breathless. RIP my beautiful granddaughter :(

    I've seen this mentioned elsewhere as a fake, it's a scam for a "admin" charge, as I recall.

    I always make a habit of forwarding (not replying to) emails which are phishing attempts. It appears DHL have a system in place to do this:

    Yes it's a scam. Had a load of these last year before I even began comping...

    If you've ordered something and the company uses DHL, they will give you tracking details.

    If it's a prize it will turn up or you'd have heard about it- if you're out they leave a card and you rearrange delivery or go and collect...
