This is seems to the a common internet scam. I've gotten email saying that I won millions of Bristish Pounds in a lottery I've never entered. Just delete the email and ignore any more.

These are scam emails. The generally ask you to contact someone who sends you a check to deposit. They will tell you to forward a portion of the check you deposited to them to cover certain fees. The check is a fake but the bank will cash it. So if they send you a 10,000 check they may ask you to send 900 to cover administrative fees. A few weeks later the bank will hold you responsible for the entire check once it is determined to be a fake.
