From Belgium, would you believe?

This one is unusual. Mostly the Lottery E-Mails have addresses from Holland, Spain or Great Britain. This one quotes a Belgian address.

This time they write that not only Bill Gates sponsers this lottery, but also the Sultan of Brunei is involved!

Needless to say, that is not true.
