I just received this email this morning and read it as:
Luckily before I started jumping around the office I thought why the question mark at the end? Why not ask me for details?
I re-read the email and noticed it actually read "Are you the lucky winner of..."
So, due to these two words being reversed, I almost won a holiday
Aw well, the excitement was short lived. Someday soon I'll win a big prize like this:rotfl:
The optimistic me read "You are" and started getting really excited. :TYou received this email because you took part in FRANCE 24 "News brief” competition.
The competition is now over.
You are the lucky winner of a one week trip to Mauritius in a luxurious 4 stars hotel?
