I usually can spot this nonsense a mile away, but this time I got fooled too! Mainly because the sender was "Mike" so I thought it was our Mike with a fantastic deal just for me. LOL After reading a couple of lines I knew I'd been had, so then started worrying about viruses, and hastily fumbled for the delete button, knowing full well I was too late anyway!

It's a scam,

LOL, now imagine if I had 3 and a half million dollars, what would I do?
Hummmm.....

I know, I send an email to a complete stranger offering to give the a percentage cut of my money.....NOT !!!

I received a hand written letter similiar to this years ago. It's an old scam. They will want your bank details to send you the money. (Yeah Right!) and then they need a little more information about you so that they feel secure in sending you millions...and whamo you have given your idenity away. After that they will purchase items with your ID.

Every now and then this sort of offerings are made to tempt nad trap the gullible ones. It would be best to block their emails...
