Comments:
    1. A lottery variant of the 419 style of scam. Correspondance will simply result in requests for 'administration fees' to cover various costs, but you'll never actually get any money back!

    2. 'RAND INTRANET SWEEPSTAKES' very likely do not even exist and are just a fake company name used by the scammers.

    3. Notice that the sender uses a free, web based email address. A real company would almost certainly use their own.
