Its fraud. These thing are pretty common. They say that you won 1 million and then they ask you to pay 1000. They are just going to take the 1000 you pay them and you get nothing. Trust me dude. You should report this email to either yahoo or the FBI. The FBI website should have links that allows you to report frauds.

You know how they say that lotteries are a tax on people who are bad at math?
Lottery scams are a tax on people who think they have won a lottery when they didn't buy a ticket because the lottery doesn't exist.
