Shell Petroleaum Development Company of England is a fake company. I usually get lot of emails offering lot of money. Its very simple "Give me CASH first and then I will give you in future ". The company who offers a huge amount of money will never bargain for the charges for "transfer amount of money"? If u notice the certificate that they create is easy to create by using Adobe Photoshop. The are completely fake so do not fall in their trap.

See one thing is clear that it is a fake mail because if it is a mail from Shell at all then it would have domain of company itself in the mail. for example spdc.shell.com because any such big firm do have a intranet at least. Everybody is getting mail from public portals. Its all bloody ### that is for sure...

This is all fake. Do you think that any company would just pay this much money just for a lucky prize. No way. And it is not just 1 single lucky person but many as you see above who lodge a complaint. How could anybody or any company felt so stupid to gift away a huge sum to all these people.
