There isn't a any such person as Samuel Chidozie. He is once again a fabricated person who will be used as a tool to separate you from your money. To put this email into perspective, myself, and 4 friends of mine have all recieved email from this person (same name, etc.). If you have already sent personal information to these people they will steal your identity and any money you send, you have lost forever. If you have been a victim of any Nigerian scam you can report them to the U.S. Secret Service and you can find their website with a simple Yahoo Search. You really shouldn't count on seeing your money ever again though. There is no prize to win, and these names are merely aliases used by those who are attempting to fleece you of your money. You cannot win any lottery without buying a ticket. These people will be laughing at you all the way to the bank if you fall for their ploy.
This nonsense (mentioned in the Samuel Chidozsie from Lagos Nigeria) has all of the signs of a scam. There exists a certain form of immoral degenerate that trolls the internet searching for suckers who believe that they have gotten very lucky and won a lottery which they have never entered. They will probably entice you to send an advance fee to claim your non-existant winnings and if you do send this money, you can kiss it goodbye. The money will likely be en-route to Nigeria, a cesspool of fraud that has been the center of these types of fraud over the last few decades. The best thing to do is to delete such emails immediately and to never reply to them. In some cases, people who travel to claim their winnings are taken hostage, and in worse-case scenarios are killed when whoever is paying ransom payments exhausts their money supply. If anything online sounds to good to be true it always is buddy. But this is simply advance fee fraud (a prevalent type of fraud which continously asks for money to cover unforseen expenses) and is intended to drain your bank account, promising money that simply does not exist. Hopefully, this answers your question. Also, any email that uses all-caps is definitely a scam.
If you have any more questions, do a yahoo search on lottery scams, nigeria 419 scams, internet fraud, or advance fee fraud.

Anything asking you to falsify documents, claim money that is not yours or collect money on their behalf and keep a percentage is a scam and most of the time they are illegal to participate in. You will not only lose money but could end up in jail.
