What kind of e-mail address is this? People can go blind by just looking at it.
"...send it to the Promotion manager of The . sory Company..."
The sory company is probably very "sory" for stealing the money of innocent people.
"Staff of GUINNESS STOUT Company are not to partake in this Lottery PLEASE BE WARNED"
Another stupid scammer's attempt to discourage real employees of Guinness Stout from replying to this e-mail.
