Money transfer from Western Union?

I just don’t think this if for real. Why would a Western Union representative use a hotmail email address? This is a major giveaway that this is more than likely a scam.

How are you today? The below payment has been awarded to you by the Nigeria Government/World Bank to compensate you on the past experience had with the Nigeria scammers. I write to inform you that we have already sent you $10,000.00 through Western Union as we have been given the mandate to transfer your full compensation payment total sum of $250,000.00 via Western Union by the Government. I have on a good authority email you the MTCN and sender’s details to enable you pick up the first $10,000.00,USD and confirm receipt to us so as to enable us wire the next USD10,000.00 by tomorrow and subsequent ones since we can only send USD10,000.00 a day. Please pick up this information and get to any western union in your country to pick up the $10,000.00 and email the Western Union outlets incharge of the payment so that they could send you another payment tomorrow. Western Union contact information: Manager: Mr. Paul Ben Email: paullbenn2012@hotmail.com Call or Email them once you picked up the $10,000.00 today, if there is any problem with them paying you make sure to contact this Western Union outlet with the information given to you Below.
