Welcome to Scamwarners. It's definitely a scam for the reasons explained here viewtopic.php?f=12&t=3199. And it refers to diplomats delivering the prize, a common feature of many scams. In the real world, diplomats do not make deliveries to members of the public.

This is a scam.
There is no lottery and no prize to collect.
You can't win a lottery you did not enter.
It asks for a payment before you get any money and this is a classic 419 advance fee fraud.
Send it no personal details , and remember that any request to transfer money via Western Union or Moneygram to someone you have not actually met and do not personally know is ALWAYS A SCAM
Often these messages are called phishing mails. They are sent out to thousands of people, and not just you, in the hope that greed will overcome your defences and you will part with money. Ignore the message and delete it and don't reply to sender. They will soon go away.

(Note that the sender is semi literate and makes many mistakes in the text, and yet the claim is to promote literacy!)

No Rajesh, the email you received is false.

RE: informing you that MR. Frank Paul, Special Chief Diplomat will be leaving for INDIA to make delivery of your cash award prize through British Airways.

That sentence is just a fairy story contrived by the scammer to sucker you in. No one in their right mind will travel by aircraft carrying money of that description. The DR Mark Jude character the scammer uses is a well known scammer name. There are numerous other scam warnings this scammer offers vast sums of monies in similar scam attempts. You will be doing yourself a favour by disregarding any further communications with the scammer.

Hi! I have received and is still receiving several emails like that but one things for sure it is NOT true. They're just waiting for someone to bite their bait. Just ignore that mail.
