Respected Sir/Madam

Recently I recieved an email from [protected]@hotmail.com saying that I have USD 850,000 in a lottery and that for clearance of the same at the Indian Airport have to pay them INR 25,500. The email also send me a photograph of the diplomat coming to hand over the cash and doing the formalities. They wanted me to pay the amount of INR 25,500 before they gave me the cash prize.

Please tell me wheether the mail is genuine or not. I dont think it is. PLease help me out.

Yours Sincerely
Parth Mehta
