The phone number gives it away. The xx 704 xx is a 'follow me' number i.e. if you were to call it, you would be re-directed to another number anywhere in the world. There's a 65% chance that would be a cell phone in Nigeria! Any logo attached to the email has simply been lifted from the genuine Fed-Ex site. fedex ... is the real site (although there's every possibility the scammer has used this in the text of his email as well) I'd bet that the scammer has written using lottocompany@yahoo or fedex_lottery_dept@yahoo or something equally banal :)
