It's probley a scam, Not a virus...Most scams start out like that, You'd probley have to end up paying for something(Like shipping for the money), someway to get your credit card numbers.

It shouldn't as long as you didn't open it. You did exactly the right thing. You can report the scam here: http://www.fraudwatchinternational.com/report_fraud/report-fraud/

i haven't but i heard from a few other people that were getting stupid emails like that. i have gotten emails that seemed like spam to me in the past and i have never got any viruses so i think you will be ok.

won't give a virus but it is fraud.
good for you for deleting it. most would reply for their millions and get defrauded.
