It does not matter if there is a company called e-courier delivery or not, this is a scam. Ditto with government entitity called British international board.
If you got an e-mail from President Bush saying that you had won the Yahoo lottery for patriots, would you believe it because you know that President Bush is a real person and that Yahoo is a real company?
Suppose you pay this money ... they will back trace what bank account it came from, and do fraudulent transactions intended to drain your account, or maybe first they will swindle you out of some smaller amounts.
This crime has led to people getting killed, because it is organized by the mafia, and they tend to kill people who try to recover their money.
You have an obligation to help put thes scammers in the slammer, by working with the law enforcement community.
I suggest you start forwarding your bogus e-mail to KNUJON (No Junk backwards) and study the links on the site so that you can recognize bogus e-mail since you obviously did not recognize this, or else you might not have been asking this question.

Don't do it. Do a search on their name. I'll bet it shows up as a red flag. If I had a penny for all the emails I've received telling me I won a zillion dollars, I'd have a zillion dollars. Some guy I never heard of from Germany supposedly left me a million in his will. It's all bull.

sry, you didn't win anything...
To Avoid scams here is what i tell people...
All spam emails/unsolicited phone calls/letters and faxes are scams.
As a general rule - ANYTHING involving Western Union/money gram = Scam.
my Advice: Don't deal with anyone out of state or from a foreign country or Accept or cash checks from strangers and never use wire/bank transfer services.. you risk losing your $$ and your mind.
Remember, if it sounds too good
to be true, it probably is! NEVER(ever) give out your personal information to strangers online or offline! Always be on guard.

Pack away your dreams, there are two questions you need to ask yourself. 1. Did you enter a lottery, and 2. Are they asking for money. Now put two and two together and work it out for yourself.
There is a variation of this very question nearly every day, only the names are changed to protect the stupid

SCAM - do not reply to them DO NOT SEND MONEY.
They are trying to RIP YOU OFF. They are CRIMINALS.
Ignore - its just a SCAM to get you to part with your hard earned money and even in some cases your persona details such as your bank account and credit card number[s] and address telephone number etc.
IT'S A SCAM!!!!

This is a scam. No such company. All they want is your bank account details and all the info they can get on you so don't be fooled.

So many people receive this scam email as you. Forget it and please not to call/response them by email or answer any question from them. I have experienced with this kind of scam and they will ask so many details from you including your bank account or credit card number to make them able to steal your money.
