They are scams and when you reply, they can collect a good amount of your personal information and as some one else already mentioned, they may tap you for money to take care of some formalities. Stay away from such mails. Don't open.

Normally these are scams. People get tricked into thinking it's real and they are told by the scammers that the money is tied up in a bank account, and they need some money to get it out. Then you see where they get their money: stupid people.
