You'd better believe it - it's a scam! We regularly get similar rubbish, often originating from Nigeria offering massive amounts from lucrative gold mines or proceeds of some government deal that must be paid out to lucky recipients around the world. Invariably, the money can only be released after you deposit the requested thousands of dollars into the sender's bank account to ensure your share! How people fall for this stuff is amazing but then we've just had a local $50,000 dollar lottery that many forked out for believing they would win - odds around 50,000 million to one!
