This email scam is similar to the Nigerian 419 Scam which dupes recipients into thinking that they have won an unbelievable amount of money from an international lottery. It even draws up specific details on how "winners" can get the money.
This email is a hoax. Recipients are advised to delete it and not forward it to other users.
