This is a scam! There are lots of these fake emails around. They are trying to persuad you to send your bank details tot hem and ultimately to ask you for money to 'win your share'.
There is nothing for nothing in this world. Do not reply or fall for this scam. I knew of one woman who borrowed £10,0000 to pay these scammers. Don't be another victim.
