Email scam: Winning the Japan Email lottery

Another variant, claiming to be the Japan email lottery, although the address provided is in Beijing, China. 

Also note that recent scam has a note for keeping the winning confidential. This is used as an escape route for the scammers when someone gets suspicious or contacts the police, they say that you have breeched the confidentiality clause, and hence are not eligible anymore for the award amount.
