This scam lottery winning notice is from either "Mr. Hans Smith" or "Mrs. Susan Van Mous", it's rather ambiguous. But either way, they say you've won a million dollars from "STAATSLOTERIJ BV", a presumed Dutch lottery. Despite their primitive BLOCK print, they've even mocked up a Lottery winnings form (see below the email on this page). The Netherlands is home to many such lottery scams.
Notice the email comes from a free email account (www.aim.com) and they've incorporated lgos from real lotteries to make it look more authentic.
