Absolutely a scam. All the emails (there are many) that are like this are a scam.

SCAM__SCAM___SCAM
We also received one from the supposedly FBI that was worded differently--but it essentialy the same thing-- you have to give them money to get a large amount of money--and Nigeria seems to always have a part in these scams. Also note the grammar and working---not from the FBI.

The FBI or any government agency would NEVER contact you via email let alone ask you to send money anywhere in exchange for money. This is a SCAM!
If you receive an email that you think may be a scam, forward it to the FTC at spam@uce.gov and to the abuse desk of the sender's ISP. Also, if the email appears to be impersonating a bank or other company or organization, forward the message to the actual organization.

Any situation where you have to pay funds in order to receive funds is a scam....it s an easy rule of thumb to follow.
Think about it, these are "officials" and when you use a lawyer, do you pay for all his costs as they incur, no, you pay the bill after the service is completed.
