A suspected scam targeting newsagents

A newsagent in Queensland was sent an email yesterday that reads like a scam. I am posting the contents here in case others received it. Any light you can shed on this would be appreciated.

Someone has nominated you as Newsagent Retailer of the Year! This means you will be invited to the annual awards night dinner in Noosa, and will be in competition with other retailers in Queensland to represent your state at the national awards night. Just for being nominated, you have gone into the draw to win two nights accommodation at the beautiful Sheraton Hotel in Noosa, and also dinner for two at award winning restaurant Wasabi! You have a one in twenty chance of winning! To ensure your entry remains valid, please send back the following details to hairykerry@gmx.com to accept your nomination. Full Name Date of Birth Business Name Business Address Phone Number ABN We look forward to seeing you at the awards night! Kerry Harrison State Newsagency Media Manager 0730302222

My advice if you did receive the email is – do not respond.
