Howdy Shoaib,

There is absolutely no doubt that this email is a fraud.

Think about it for a second.  How many lotteries have you won, but never
entered in the first place?

No legitimate lottery (or contest, etc.) would ever require a fee to be
paid in order to collect the prize.

Furthermore, why would the Nteherland Lottery use a GMail email address?
