This sounds like a funny question because who would ever send themself a spam email? What you really received is a "spoofed" message. It's actually easy to alter an email to change the "from" address to make it appear that it's coming from someone else. Basically a forgery.

Have you ever had an important email go missing? An important customer order that just doesn't arrive in your inbox? Well, the the first place to look is your spam filter. There's a good chance that the email may have gotten flagged as a "false positive" for spam. If you check your spam filter, you'll find the message. As long as you only need to look in one place, it's a quick detour.
