spam email connected to e-insurance?

[GS608]

unfortunately i was stupid enough to use my real email address when i did the free online quote yesterday, no other details though, i was wondering if anyone else received an email from some place called the "Japan International Lottery Worldwide Promotion". its the first spam email i've received in a long time. obviously i can't say for sure its connected to E-Insurance but it seems logical..on selling infomation.

heres a copy of the entire email, from dralishalee8@yahoo.com.hk

They also wish to sensitise the public. If they want to convince the plebs, they need better writers.
