i did receive a similar or rather the same e-mail this is a whole load of scam...dont fall for it. i have doubled checked and googled and i can confirm that its a complete scam. Just dont fall for it and waste your time. there is nothing like this. i would just suggest you to delete it upon receiving it. For logical reason with all the credit crunch the world is faceing i dont think anybody or firm is ready to throw away millions of pounds to people (and that too, to hundreds of thousands of people). what they do is you send them your details and your id and they use your details to open bank accounts and do theft useing them. then once you have sent them the details they send you another mail suggesting that you were late and that you have to fill in another application where you would put additional information about you to them and they request you to send it to them asap.Once thats done they would ask you to deposit money in a bank account so thay can release the funds into your bank account. well which lottery company will ask its winner to deposit money so that they can release the lump some into your bank account...dont you smell something fishy here. This scam is ID theft dont be a victim of it. they sound very convinsing just dont fall for it. my friend received it one time thats when we googled it and found out it was a scam and when i received it i just had a laugh.
