Thanks Mike,

Here is the Tracking URL for this mysterious spam email.

http://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z945557411z13c22d3cfce8e5f033884bc08c04bb9az

SC says the email addresses
'jobs at thestocktongroup.com'
'adriaan.p at thestocktongroup.com'

 and the web URL: http://www.thestocktongroup.com/  are no good.

If so, what possible purpose does this email serve?

Nigel
