hello I am Kouame from the Ivory coast. I received a similar message but not the same signature dated February 13, 2017. I was not connected until yesterday. So what about my message and tell me this lottery really exists?

It is a fake or lottery scam.

I got a similar one, again not addressed directly to me, supposedly from the National Drilling Company (though the email address it came from was completely different). Different names, but a number of spelling checker errors (different similar word not spotted by the scammer, so presumably English not their first language). Same return address of representative.com (with a different name).
I love the way the signature is signed in big fat felt pen, just like a child would do...
I rarely get spam these days as Google is so good at filtering. This one slipped through the net as there's no text in the email, just two .jpg images.

True, I got the same email..from National Drilling Company.

I just received this, with another logo. Thank you for information

I read this email right now. It's almost similar, but the company name was changed to "National Drilling Company". Tks to this site that warned me about the fishing attempt.
That's the frist time I've heard about this e-mail. My original language is brazilian Portuguese. Tks in advanced!
