This is a SCAM. The below links confirm various email scams hitting the internet, including the famous Yahoo/MSN lottery scams and how to report them :

Unscrupulous thieves have sent you this email and they are trying to part you from your hard earned cash. They will often ask you to call a premium rate number and keep you holding on whilst you rack up a huge phone bill. They are then paid a large proportion of this phone bill. They may ask you to divulge personal information about yourself or ask for your bank or credit card details. Do not divulge any such information under any circumstances. It is surprising how many innocent victims have been duped by these types of emails. Just remember the thieves who send them are very clever and extremely convincing. I suggest you delete the email and send it into cyberspace, hopefully along with the thieving scumbags who send them.

DON'T DO IT ..... You might one day find out a Nigerian/Northern African has your identity.........I got one that wanted me to give my bank account number along with the routing number to my checking account so they can "deposit" millions of dollars into my account.
WHAT YOU CAN DO-is forward that to Coca Cola (general counsel) headquarters in Atlanta,Ga and see what they have to say

DO NOT DO IT... SCAM...SCAM...SCAM

Sorry to use all caps but my friend did something like this and had his identity stolen
