Hi Ali
First and formost… did you enter the lottery, if not then this is a scam email.
I suggest that you look at the actual email address. Most of the time they are from mail sites like Hotmail, Yahoo etc. The scam emails never have the banks propper email addresses, and I bet you that the email does not have the proper email graphics of the bank.
Also, if you are still not sure, then contact the bank directly from their website ot phone them.

This is a scam. You will be asked to supply personal information & also pay a handling / administration fee so that ‘they’ can transfer your funds. Once you’ve paid the admin fee they’ll contact you again to say there’s some problem on their side and you need to pay a small amount in order to get your winnings released. Once you’ve paid what they ask for you’ll never hear from them again. Also, by supplying the personal information, you’ve given them what they need to steal your identity.
DELETE ALL EMAILS SUCH AS THESE. The only way you win is by ignoring them.
