Hey girl, that is spam, scam, junk mail, whatever you want to call it. Do not reply, it maybe a virus, don't even open junk like that, I sure don't I just spam they a*s with all that garbage they be trying to send to me girl. I don't even open that mess up, it's all lies, don't fall for them thief's tricks, lol. But for real you should just delete or hit the spam button to block them from your email, that is the best answer for your question.
Bye,

Its good that you consulted yahoo answers before taking any step. What you have received is a common trick to cheat net users. Dont fall for it. But I am sure it must have excited you like anything when you read it first time.

Plz dont give any of ur details. Just delete that mail and unsubscribe from future offers, if there is an option. All this is just spam.

Probably a scam. If u follow the instructions in the mail it will cause either virus attack or money loss.
delete these kind of mails.
