It is a scam. Do not reply to it at all. There has been major press on these scams.
The following is a link directly to the publication of the federal trade commission that outlines the scam completely.

It is not legit. My hometown newspaper ran an article one day last week addressing the same thing, and it was also broadcasted on the local television news program to be aware the scam was going on. Hate to bust your bubble; it would have been nice, no?

Ask me, I'll tell you it's a scam. One one the oldest tricks in the books... However, you can go ahead and send them the check, to release the money, and see for your self...
