This portion made no sense to me:

Note:<br /> - The link of the <em>coupon will expire within 24 hour</em> <em>from now.</em><br /> - The coupon <em>validity is 30 days.</em>

<em>croemer asking:Which is it 24 hours or 30 days?<br /></em>

Not that it matters because it's not real, but you have 24 hours to obtain the coupon and 30 days to use it.

Ha...I am sure happy I did not click on that link...

This portion sounds like it is someone from another country:

we selected more than one million customers in first step.


As does this:This coupon is valid for all amazon product take it in the link below

Re: Do you think this is s real e-mail??

The first clue is "dear customer". Any legit email from a company where you are a customer should have your user name at that company. Amazon never send emails to "dear customer", nor do Paypal, or your bank.

One of my email accounts gets a lot of spam mail addressing me as "mighty mister". I've been getting them for years, and it's getting old. I was pleased to see they've upped their game this week, and I got "Greetings, well hung sweetheart!"
