Yes, it is a scam. Delete the e-mail and don't worry about it.
If you really want to know more, just look for a "Nigerian scam" in a search engine and you'll see exactly what this scam involves.

It's a scam and if you open it a file seeking program will look for personal information on credit cards, addresses and other saved email addresses and a bunch more. Do not open it, delete it now.

It's a scam. they will need money for "administration fees" or your bank details so they can send the money to you. Hit the delete button.

It's one of the oldest scams on the 'net. I can't believe you've received your first one! I've received hundreds over the years.
No wonder I'm now a multi-billionaire.:-)

Old scam! After you convert money (your money ) for her you never hear from her again and you are out thousands of dollars.
