Shell Lottery Scam

This one is quite funny.

Here are a few pointers as to why this is a scam in case you were wondering.

a) It purports to be from Shell, yet the email address is from an educational institution
b) They can't count to 11.
c) The Royal Mail Courier Delivery Service (if it exists) does not use a hotmail address
d) What's a "co-ordinarier"?

In short, if you get an email like this, you have not won anything. It is a scam. Just delete it and ignore.
