That is Yahoo Hong Kong email address. I'll send it with one of my spam email accounts (that i use to sign up for stuff) and see what happens?

I have an email address on hotmail that I use for online shopping and for registering at newspaper sites, etc. After about 6 years of use, it has become compromised and I get about 8 of these emails a week. In total I've won several billion dollars. The UK lottery seems to award me a prize most frequently! -Skip

On those rare occasions that I need to register for something I have an e-mail address that I use for that and nothing else. I also use a fake name which is "Nonya Biznes".
