Gmail Sweepstakes Lottery Spam - Obvious scam, but here for the record

Another obvious Sweepstakes Lottery Scam, but I documented here for the record as I found only one other hit for this message.

Do not download and open this document nhfp.docx from your hard drive, because it contains malicious virus.  Again, best practice is upload  to  Microsoft OneDrive  or   Google Drive.  I would recommend doing that with any questionable document such as Word, PowerPoint, Excel, PDFs etc.





This is the text for search engines:
