It's fraudulent and attempts to trick people into providing financial and personal information.
You shouldn't open unsolicted email from unknown sources. Often what happens is that when you open up spam, it sends back a trigger to the originating source indicating that a valid email address has been found thus subjecting you to even more spam down the road. Even using the preview pane in email products sends web beacons back to spammers.( http://helpdesk.gwu.edu/mailfilter/spam.html )
However, in this case since you have already opened up this email which is a probably a variant of the 419 Nigerian phishing scheme, display all headers and send it to Fraud Watch International. The email address is in the link to the webpage below.

There are a couple Yahoo pages dedicated to the 419 Fraud

It sounds like a scam.........
If she gave 20% to you and all your friends that recieved it.......what will be left for her?
Why would she ask you to remit the money to your country? I bet she doesnt even know where you live......and if she does she should ask the bank or something............
In my opinion.........
She's a con man or a con woman........

She will use 6.5 mill that her father passed down to invest to her future but if you help you will get 20% of it
