A very optimistic spam email

This email slipped past the Microsoft spam and security checks to arrive in our Outlook Inbox. How deluded do you have to be, thinking that one of the world’s richest men would email ‘out of the blue’ offering over USD$5 million?

The two links are real.    Any deluded or desperate optimists have to reply to the message.

From a technical point of view, it’s interesting that the email managed to bypass Microsoft’s anti-spam filters.  Hopefully not for long.
