An ancient Internet lottery scam company

All of these Lottery Prize e-mails are basically written the same way. The only differences being the e-mail addresses being used and the name of the so-called lottery company sending the e-mail.

This one "Sunsweetwin" has been used since November 2003, which for Internet is a relatively long time. In 2003 the e-mail address was sunsweetwin@cyberbabies.com. As you can see, it is also a freemail address.

In 2003 the lottery company was in Amsterdam with the following address:

SUNSWEETWIN PROMO LOTTERY,THE NETHERLANDS.
ALFONSTRAAT B56, 1002 BS AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS

Today's e-mail has no address and no other method of contact other than the e-mail address lotto171promom@netscape.net.

Just the same they most likely have their contact people in Amsterdam.
