See http://www.worldlawdirect.com/articl...8fraud%29.html It is a scam--enter "international lottery scam" into Google and read many articles about it...they want you to pay fees and no real lottery does that...you may notify the FBI and/or your local police as well if you wish.

There are many of these lottery scams.
